Originally posted by SQ_326 View Postin terms of real estate, 8 are paying for the price of 9 which works out to be 12.5% more. After throwing in all the ancillary stuffs like priority check in, boarding and lounge access, it probably works out to be around 15-20%. But SQ is charging PY at triple of N/Q, double of M/W/H of Y class tickets - doesn't make sense.
Guess the demand is not there for short haul, that why no PY seats

Just off 970 in BKK. First impression is very pleasant, this is a quantum leap from the 330 let alone the myriad of 772 vintages we've been having on the route.
Seat and bed are extremely comfortable, I would say the bed more than the seat itself. I'd agree with previous experiences on the delivery flight on the seat being slightly narrow yet very comfortable. Found myself hitting the IFE remote accidentally a few times, minor detail. Two minor issues, the armrests give way under weight, so using them as support to stand out of the seat won't work. Also, when lowered and in bed mode, the elbow towards the aisle tends to go out of the seat space into the aisle, which is likely to cause impacts from crew/pax/pushcarts.
Panasonic IFE is superb and WiFi worked flawlessly. Interestingly it's volume based rather than time based, although this could change in longer flights.
Sad to see the cuttlery, glassware and tableware are the same as in the old 333/772 regional J and not the one in the new 380 (which was featured in some of the marketing material for the 787-10). Hoping this will change in time as this is a bit of a let down compared to the rest of the product.
Both pillow and blanket are as in the new 380.
Managed to chit chat with the crew on the front galley, they are much happier with the setup as compared to the 350.
All in all, this could easily be a long haul product and definitely an amazing one for short/medium haul.

Originally posted by FN-GM View PostI also think they should have installed a USB-C port.
While there's a marked increase in devices with USB-C connectors (eg iPhone, MacBook Pro, latest Samsung Galaxy phones), one almost never sees a cable with USB-C at both ends – it's always USB-C at the device end and standard USB-A at the 'connecting / charging' end - so doesn't that mean that an inflight USB-C port would almost never be used? Or do you reckon this is more in the way of future-proofing based on the idea that there will at some stage in the next few years be a lot of 'USB-C at both ends' cables issued with devices?

Originally posted by felixkurniawan View PostSince there will be 5 units of 787-10 by mid-may, what are the chances of replacing the SQ622/623 (SIN-KIX) with 787-10 too?
Is this a considerable option for SQ, or are they usually preferred to deploy it on another route instead?
