I was on SQ866 yesterday. Surprisingly Y was almost but front cabin is quite empty. Maybe because it’s a Sunday flight.

I have actually started using other ports in the USA because I am fed up of the old economy product on the jfk to sing a380. I pay for all my travel and well I can only afford economy but I can be choosy lol. I hope they eventually get to upgrading this old bird. They even removed the leg rests. When I flew in June they were there and not there in October. Maybe it was an equipment switch. The IFE is really terrible now. The screens don’t show well. Some of the headphones ports give issues. Even the 777er with the retrofitted cabin is so much better!! And the three times I have travelled this route this yr the flight in economy is always full!! And full of Germans too!

think due to the delay in SKT, SQ have further tweaks for the Version 3.
latest update is that
SQ856/861 HKG (388v3) changes to 77W on days 234 on 19-21/NOV and 26-28/NOV.
actually SQ856/861 have been mostly using the version 1 A380 since last week

yeah, whats the story with SKT now.
never seen an aircraft out of service for almost 10months, unless for major repairs.
SKS took 5 months to refit. so SKT isn't the "trial" one. at this rate, they're never going to complete refitting all the remaining A380s

The daily flight also seems to retain the same aircraft into the winter 2020/21 season, rather than the usual 10x weekly B77W service.
Think SKN is now in refit as well? They would need 2 planes to do SQ336 daily.

Only one aircraft is needed as Mumbai reverts to A380v2 from 1 July 2020. So they're sticking at the measly 1 refit per 6 months rate

Originally posted by demue View PostThis may have been covered here before, but I booked SQ638 SIN- NRT next year Oct (2020) and it is currently an A380 V3/4 (?) with Suites and latest J. Used to be operated by a B787 with regional J last time we flew it.
There are no more Regional Business Class seats being used on NRT, only a single HND flight.
