I know that SQ have been retrofitting some of their older 777 fleet with more up to date J products, but how far have they gone?
I maybe flying SQ from SIN - PVG on 12th Nov and return on 16th Nov, and I really want to know what J product to expect. If it's the Spacebed, then I'm more than happy. However, if it's the old cradle seats, my decision will be more difficult (ie save my company a couple of thousand dollars, or take the more comfortable and direct option with QF or VS/KA)
The GDS says the flights are on 772 both ways, and looking at the availability it's the 3 class version.....
Cheers

:( I second that. I am on 773 SYD SIN return in Jan. I thought they had already updated them.
Where is that LONE plane flying currently?

I'm on SQ 238 MEL-SIN on Jan 15th in F.
I know it's the 777-300 with the regional F product.
Can Anyone tell me if they have AVOD?
and should I instead switch to A333 C?

So I am now booked and confirmed and I will be flying the "lone 773" back from SIN to SYD. What J seats have they got on there?? Is it the new new ones aka 77W and 388? Or Spacebeds?
GDS is showing seatmap at 2-2-2 which is unusual for 777 as J is usually 2-3-2, so am i right in thinking the new new product??

Slightly wider variants of the 333 seats. Do note that there has been instances where the 73A has been swapped by the 773.

Looking at the SQ website, they show only 2 variations of the 773 (non-ER). The one with the pics you showed, and the "layout 2" but this does has the recliners (according to seat expert). I thought they had some 773s with Spacebeds. Am I wrong?

2-3-2 -> Ultimo Seats (Rest of the 773 fleet)
2-2-2 -> New Regional J (Only on 9V-SYF SQ231/232)
773s never had Spacebeds installed.
