This thread really has little to do with CX. If it interests you, take it up in the SQ forum. I'm sure there are lots of people that have noticed the irregular spacing and figured it out.

SQ used the old bed, they just increased the pitch as the floor on the A345 wasn't strong enough to support the J seats at the originally planned spacing, also there was a center of gravity issue which prevented using the F seats. The floor problem results in an irregular spacing (it varies through the cabin). As it was a low-volume config, this was a better solution than coming up with a proper interior layout.This thread really has little to do with CX. If it interests you, take it up in the SQ forum.

I am sure the folks there know perfectly well it has been 64" and is still 64".
I guess this 70" pitch on SQ A345 J exists where/when the SQ B744s have 13 seats in F, as you previously had claimed.
The 'old bed' has a pitch of 58" and all I am trying to do is to correct incorrect information on the thread.

So it is definitely NOT 70 inch? I think from the photos I saw of the SQ 345 interior, it defintiely does not look like 70inch. I mean you might get a 80inch row like CX on row 86, but that is because it is the emergency row.
Yes it is definitely not 70 inches of pitch on SQ 345 J and indeed it is 64 inches. For those who think it is 70' would you like me to measure it for you next time? Since this is a actual fact and not anyone assumption, presumption or a fragment of their imagination can we put the matter to rest now?

Your "facts" happen to be wrong in this instance, but it is not a CX issue so this whole discussion is too far OT. I do know the pitch is irregular, so it is probable that some seats are at 64 inch pitch and others at 70 inch, maybe with several other values in between. The A345 wound up being a very oddball config for a lot of reasons (it also has a corpse locker, for example, for storing bodies of pax that die in flight; unlike BA who use F seats for that purpose).Originally Posted by B-HQC

I think it is important on discussion boards like FlyerTalk, that when posters post facts, they are facts. Or else, they will confuse other posters, especially those new to the forum or those who are not familiar with the discussion.
In this case, fact is that the pitch IS 64", except perhaps on the bulkhead seats (row 11 & 16). Corpse locker is not placed in passenger cabin but rather at the back end of the aircraft, so I don't know how that relates to the discussion (even more OT, in my opinion).

It is only because I care about facts that I have continued this thread. But since you have your own facts that you are attached to, and I have mine, we might as well end this. The A345 config is unorthodox, which might be the reason we differ (I'm not sure if all of SQ's A345s are in the same config, in fact it seems there are different configs even with only 5 planes).Originally Posted by StarG

I have tons of useful posts on FT, so you don't have to lecture me on how FT works. Actually it mostly works by group consensus (nobody really knows what "facts" are accurate, so we have threads and discussions which eventually lead to a conclusion, which may or may not be factual). From these threads can be gleaned an amazing amount of useful material -- but I'm afraid how many inches of legroom SQ has is not one of them. And SQ has bigger problems now, it has 2 or 3 rough years ahead as the competition from EK, QF and CX ramps up.
