Hello,
Does anybody know what days the refitted/updated aircraft will be flying from HKG->SFO the week of 03/09?
EDIT: I believe I figured it out. It looks like Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. If anybody can confirm, that would be awesome
Thanks!

Very consistent so far -- SQ haven't missed a 77WN assignment to these flights yet since starting the rotation 5 February.

I'm planning on flying SQ2 on June 1st, but it's a Monday, so based on this, I'll be getting the old product?
Thanks

In August, SQ231/222 between SIN and SYD get the reconfigured 4 class version of the 77WN in place of the current 3 class 77WN. That frees up one equivalent frame with new seats, but no PEY. It might go to SQ2/SQ1 opposite the one now assigned Tue, Thu, Sat.

Nothing is likely to change before August except the addition of the SIN - MEL - SIN turn once 9V-SNA is delivered.

I'm debating on waitlisting my SQ2 flight to leave on Tuesday instead of Monday to take advantage in June, but will be disappointed if it's not a 77WN.

Just to clarify, since SFO-HKG SQ1 is a past midnight flight, that means the new cabins are Monday (sunday night), Thursday (Wednesday night) and Saturday (friday night) departures. However, SQ2 flies out before midnight.

Thanks. Is there a definite plan to increase the frequency on SQ 1/2 to daily later in the year? I'll happily accept totally uninformed speculation as well.

Not quite. SQ1 gets the 77WN ex-SFO Sunday (Saturday night), Wednesday (Tuesday night) and Friday (Thursday night). SQ2 arrives SFO the same day it departs SIN.

"The new aircraft will initially be deployed on three weekly Singapore-Hong Kong-San Francisco services, gradually increasing to daily as more aircraft enter service."
