I just made a F RT to Singapore, 77D there and 74A back. Luckily no swaps.
Having flown the two birds within a very short while of each other, let me just say that the 74A is an absolute beauty in F and I'll be very sad to see it go. The 77W just can't compare.
Of course, on the 74A trip I was the only F passenger and I had a team of two outstandingly lovely FAs all to myself But even putting that aside, the feel of the two aircraft is very different. I did 1K on both flights and on the 74A it felt like my private jet.

Where do SQ's F blocking practices fit into the picture?

I will be doing sin-hkg-tpe in less than 2 weeks.
I changed from red eyes flight (which is 77w) to 8am flight which will be on 744. So both my sin-hkg and hkg-sin will be on 744.
What to expect in y class?
Sliding seat?

It's that hardshell seat aka the back breaker. I had a sore back from it even though it was only a 3.5 hours hkg-sin flight last week.
