What I am trying to say, I will not paying CX Biz class (at least with my own money) on SIN-HKG-SIN flight, since you will never know what kind of product you will have.
If economy I am ok, as there will be a chance to get ops up....

Which Y classs? With SQ Y class on A330 or A380? I think SQ Y class has better IFE. At least it is AVOD.
CX B772 does not even AVOD in C class and no "remote" as the controller is on the side on your seat. And the TV quality is sucks. Like 5-6" TV
Only the seat is bigger, that's all

Don't really care about iFE in regionals and there is always an ipad anyway.
I thought SQ still use the ultimo seats on this route? Or have they switched to this slant bed and a380 products?

Not really, at least you get bettering catering - the laksa ex SIN is pretty good. Also the space is really important esp to a business traveller.

If you get B744, at least you have some level of privacy.
Of course if this is an op up, cannot complain. But paying ticket? no way, at least for me.

They are not excluded, but just that last batch of the update. They are updating a330 and b773 first.

I understand that they are updating the 772 last for the new regional business class (introduced end 2012 and to be retrofitted till end 2014).
Would you know if the 772 received the refreshed regional business class?
as I understand it:
Original regional business class
Refreshed regional business class
New regional business class

you do not have to agree with me and neither do i.
everyone has his own preference.
My company won't fly me biz class. So I only fly biz for my personal trup, as i said i won't pay SGD2,000+ for CX biz class to HKG. I rather pay SGD800+ to fly SQ on Y and use the rest of money for nice hotel in HKG. Or pay CX economy and hope for ops up

Last minute change on CX710 yesterday got 773 with the new Regional Business Class instead of 772. very comfortable, although the monitors mounted on the bulkhead defeats the purpose of being a touch screen.

Is it completely random what plane you get on the SIN-HKG route then are are some timetabled flights slightly less likely to be affected?
Seem to be a few heading up to HKG including a 12:55 flight in First. Is this likely to be a downgrade probability?
Was looking at MH and a flight in J with them was half the price of CX (might be fare class i.e. flexible though)
