Flight is still J9 S9 Y9, so I wonder if my better bet is to take an aisle in the middle section of economy, and hope for an under-populated row?
Any advice appreciated.
Hello
YOWgary! I assume you mean SQ232 SYD-SIN, because SQ222 is a 777-300ER flight, whereas SQ232 is operated by the A380 with new cabin products.
For extra legroom seats, I would recommend the emex rows, or 42A/K, 71A/K, which are one row back from the emex door, but have an empty seat in front of them (Plus a window). Seat 71K is pictured here.
Note these are preferred seats where a charge applies if booked online prior to the flight.
A more comprehensive trip report of the new cabin products can be found
