AMS changes to 77W from 01JUL12
Not mentioned in SQ Press Release, but SQ from 01JUL12 is to operate Boeing 777-300ER to Amsterdam, replacing -200ER. This results in introduction of First Class. (FYI, MH KUL AMS loses F from 05MAR12 with the change from 744 to 772)
Aircraft change is now reflected in GDS timetable and availability, as well as seat map, as of 28DEC11.
Possible changes can't be ruled out, although SQ rarely changes its planned operation unless extraordinary circumstances occurs.

Finally
Finally the decent seats to AMS, unfortunately it won't take too long that the safer awards will be completely gone to EU now.
Interesting though, trying to book F is not possible via the commerical tickets. Maybe they will just keep the first 2 rows empty?

I haven't booked any, but can proceed up to the review screen. Eg. AMS-SIN-MNL on 13JUL12
I haven't booked, however F saver on the 77W appears available after 01JUL12. As I haven't booked, I can't confirm if it books, other than as above, I have been to the review screen advising of points + taxes to pay.

If you search around hard enough, you might find that there is actually some I-class availability. I have checked that this is definitely a technical glitch, not SQ intending to release Saver Awards on their "new" seats.

77W to/from AMS from today....
Apparently 77W on the SQ324/SQ323 to/from AMS is phased in gradually:
SQ324 to AMS:
16, 23 and 30 April
Every Saturday, Monday and Thursday from 19 May
Every day from 1 July
SQ323 to SIN:
17 and 24 April, 1 May
Every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday from 20 May
Every day from 2 July.
Interestingly, for flights before the 1st of July (2nd from AMS), you can not book First Class....
SQ324 to AMS:
16, 23 and 30 April

SQ323 to SIN:

My wife just caught SQ324 last night (Monday).
It was a 77W, and here is the scoop: the plane is a standard 3 class config but they've converted F to J for purposes of this flight (and return). So Rows 1 and 2 are ticketed as J. I presume that this is to simplify ticketing and fares as they have mixed aircraft currently on the route (772 2 class and 77W 3 class).
So - net - until further notice (looks like July) get yourself a seat allocation in the nice big F class seats

I just secured 2 first saver awards for AMS-SIN on Monday the 9th of july. All other days around that date are available as well.
With bizz going to 42 seats and 8 in first vs only 30 seats in the past availability will increase significantly.
