As per Sabre timetable display, as well as the airline's inventory system, Singapore Airlines' Singapore - Sydney final Boeing 747-400 service is planned for 05OCT09.
Final 747 flight on the Singapore to Sydney is SQ219 on 04OCT09, returning from Sydney the following day on SQ220
SQ219/220 is to be replaced by Boeing 777-300, with existing configuration.
I am booked on SQ220 in late October, and while I feared it may not last until then, I did hope it was another assured SkySuite flight. My booking now shows as 773. Gutted.
As I am in Korea earlier that week and was going down Sydney for a couple of days before flying all the way back to UK in a SkySuite, I think I'll give it a miss and just do a DONE ex-ICN.
It was SkySuite all the way SYD to LHR when I booked it, now it's 773 and 77W.

Personally, I'm not holding my breath... unless the current management gets booted out But I could hope, couldn't I?
The "Last to fly" group (I've seen lots of "First to fly" groups but never a "Last to fly" group... ) even got a piece of engine blade each as memento!!!

Okay about to book a flight from SIN-MEL
I CURRENTLY have the choice of
SQ217 - 77W
SQ227 - 744
SQ237 - 773
I think the general consensus is that the 77W will come off the SIN-MEL-SIN route, but we have no idea what it, and the 744 will be replaced with.
What route/plane do you think I should pick, given I prefer the newest interiors/fit out, and I will be in paid J
