Is it the case now that any 77W in 4 class config has the new J?
Looking at SQ327 MUC-SIN in Jan, which when I flew SIN-MUC-SIN in Oct last year was 77WN going up and 77W (old J) coming back. Flying SIN-DUS on the A359, and coming back, have the choice between departing either MUC or DUS again. Want the new product, and all the recent sectors have been operated by 4F/48J, but today it's being operated by SWA, which is an older config (unless it's come out of refit since mid year?).

There have been irregular equipment swaps to MNL the past few weeks (wonder what's happening). 9V-SWW just flew me to SIN and SWR, SWD, SWG and SWW serviced SQ 917 the past few days. If this because of the pull out of certain routes last October like SQ15/16 so they now have 77W's just sitting around?

Hello everyone - a quick question from me and would really appreciate if someone could enlighten me.
I'm due to fly on SQ319 from LHR - SIN and then SQ318 SIN - LHR in 2 weeks' time; I deliberately booked these flights as I have researched that these will be in the "new" business class config. However when I went to 'Manage My Booking' today to choose seats, I noticed from the seating map that there are signs both flights are in the 'old' config (see below - row 14 being first row of main cabin instead of last row of mini cabin). Does anyone know why this is - have they changed the equipment for these flights?? Thanks!!

A. 4 First class seats with a 3 row mini-J cabin - Premium Economy available
B. 8 First class seats with a 2 row mini-J cabin - No Premium Economy
Maybe someone who flies the SIN-LHR route regularly can voice in since I usually do asia and transpac flights.

Ah, I see - thank you. I was a bit thrown off by the "15.4 or 18 inch screen" because last time when I saw that in the seating chart from a HKG - SIN flight, the seats turned out to be the old generation J class.

Looking to fly Business on flights 305 (LHR-SIN) and 306 (SIN-LHR) in July next year. Trying to decide whether to take these flights or get the A380 flights; what is the chance that 305/306 will have the new business class? Will all 777-300ERs be upgraded by July?

Hmm as far as I know all my SQ 306 flights these year have been the new J aircraft with PE.

Had a question on the new configs but figured might be easier to post here than to start a new thread - for flights with 4J seats only, will Saver redemptions ever become available? I have done a fair bit of searching and so far it only shows Standard awards and does not even allow me the option of waitlisting for a Saver.
