While no AVOD, there are 16 video channels (looks like they kept the old SQ IFE system). And I cannot imagine a J service with no free booze (even most of the dry Islamic airlines offer booze in J!).

With only 2 planes, growing to 5, it isn't a big impact, but their future city list is interesting (Oakland and Chicago in the US, for example). Not sure where they can get additional used 744s, though, these are in short supply. SQ probably cut them a deal just to be a thorn in CX's side, but SQ is not going to have too many more 744s to sell to Oasis.
