I'm intrigued by the upper deck window layouts vs the all Biz upper-deck
Zone A: 4 windows, 1 blank, 2 windows, 2 blanks vs the current 9 windows
Zone B: 25 windows vs the current 24
Zone C: 9 window vs the current 10
Zone D: 4 windows vs the current 2
What kinda of layout could we be seeing?

Originally posted by FSJZ View PostPerhaps Zone A will be the new Suites, Zone B will be J and Zone C and D will be S? Then all lower deck Y? Just a wild guess at this point. This will greatly reduce the number of premium seats available though, which could be beneficial for the higher Y yield routes that the 77WR is not able to handle.
Upper Deck:
Zone A - 4 Suites in 1-1 config
- Long Galley for both Suite and Business Class -
Zone B and Zone C - Around 60 Business Seats in 1-2-1 config
Zone D - Social Area
Lower Deck:
Premium Economy 28-36 seats in the front in 2-4-2 (3 rows 2-stairs-2 around the stairs and 2 or 3 row 2-4-2)

Lower deck sounds quite packed, but guess doable given the current 12R + 36S +245Y.
Huge bump up in density - 476 vs 379 on the current all upper deck J version.
Great change to make the big lady more profitable!

On the main deck, looking at LH (http://www.lufthansa.com/mediapool/p...1511678526.pdf) who installs 52 Premium Economy seats and 371 Economy seats, I don't see SQ only installing 45 plus 345.

In general terms, do those of you who fly J on the A380 feel that the balance between Y and J is better with the SKA-K (Upper Y) series or the SKL-T (Upper all J) series? Does the balance lie somewhere in between, or is there an argument for still dealing with the hassle of having two configurations in order to meet the differing demands of destinations?
I ask this in terms of observed load factors, ability to book seats etc.

Look at EK - they have even introduced A380 with no First at all.
My personal take is that it is extremely difficult to fill 400 seats in Y+/Y all the time - Lufthansa had to cut Y fares dramatically in order to have a decent seat load factor. Not the way to go for a premium airline. A380 is only suitable for very few routes and I would not be surprised if SQ will reduce the total number of A380 in the next years.
