Booked return on SQ, but BOM-SIN already booked and paid on Vistara so too late to change. I emailed Vistara customer service and they came back with some stupid response that it will be "a Vistara plane" without clearly answering if it is a new Vistara plane or on old Jet Airways pig with new lipstick applied to it!!

If your flight is in the near future it's going to be the 9W planes (738s). UK will fly 32N & 32Q when they get deliveries of the new planes. But I suspect that's still some ways away.

SQ would have been better. Although they did merge the UK & SQ flights on SQ metal a couple of times recently. Keep your fingers crossed.

"Greetings from Vistara. We have checked the equipment operating on this route tonight. The flight UK 105 tonight, you will be on Vistara Aircraft and not Jet Aircraft. You may log on to Manage My Booking and select the seat as per your preference."
So at least today 19 Sept 2019 ( hopefully unless thy change their minds at the last minute) they are not using an old pig with full lipstick applied!!

Looks like UK is finally getting its new A320s soon. They’re going to be flying them on the DEL & BOM - SIN route from 30 Nov.
While I don’t know for certain if they’re the new planes I would suspect it is.
Wonder if they will continue with the 738s after that.

The A320 are hardly better... They are suited for regional flights. The B788 coming from Scoot should improve mid and longhaul comfort.
