Rumour: SQ11 to go 77W

I just spent a couple of hours talking with the the purser in F on SQ11.

Thanks to FT I was able to spout off all the recent changes with route cutbacks... including flight numbers and aircraft type. The purser was amazed that I knew about cutting-edge “enhancements” on SQ.

After a very long “vetting” process, he confided that this was the last time we were going to fly SQ11 on a 747.

He said the staff rosters that normally show “744” now show “77W”

Many long-term staff have been taking pictures of the 744 cabin on SQ11 because they know the aircraft will change within the next month or two.

No more award redemptions on SQ11.

I commiserated with the purser about the loss of such a great aircraft. He was deeply moved that a passenger cared as much as he did.

Then he broke the news that they had run out of Dom and only had Krug for the next hour until NRT.

Life goes on....

But I'm really grateful I was able to redeem five F awards on SQ11 in the past seven months.
