Yes agreed, shame that SQ didn't tread in JL's footsteps and opt for 8 across. I guess the margins are too thin, and this is predominantly this is for short-medium haul routes. Although, to be honest I don't find the seating comfort on the 787's I've been on terribly different to SQ's A330's that they will be replacing.

Singapore Airlines Boeing 787-10 delivery flight
I'll be on the delivery flight of Singapore Airlines' first Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, so I thought it'd be good to share some of the details for those who're interested.
- The delivery ceremony proper takes place at Boeing's Charleston, South Carolina facility (where the -10s are assembled) on the evening of March 26.
- We depart CHS at 2300-ish (emphasis on the -ish, could be a bit after midnight on March 27, and flight number TBA) and will make a short 'tech stop' to refuel at Osaka (no time advised as yet).
- After that, it's onwards to Singapore for the official welcome event at Changi's JetQuay VIP terminal on the morning of March 28, although the 787-10 will detour via T2 for passengers who wish to disembark at that stage rather than continue onto the welcome event.
- There will be a seperate invitation-only preview event for SQ's high-rating PPS Club members on the evening on March 28, which is also being held at JetQuay.

We've rounded up what we already know and various other speculations in this article - including the expected long queues for the economy toilets and Perth launches 7th May with loads of redemption availability.

Most people try to love the new release product, but my scepticism is in overdrive. Do we need mixed expectations following the A380 new product release, A350 release, and general (non-SIA) 787 flop?
Red flag right here, although has SIA confirmed this in writing anywhere?

She was there for the first two days of the trade show only, after which they flew her back to Charleston in the evening to be taken to the paint shop.
Nice looking aircraft. I inaugurated the -8 with ANA and the -9 with Air France. I will miss out on the -10 with Singapore Airlines. I was just in Singapore for the air show. No B787-10.
Makes good sense as they will have her there every day all the time.

Press (although the modern term might be 'media', as 'press' implies print which is sadly losing primacy to online-only, although of course 'online' can as much mean 'traditional' journalism as a blogger or even that idiotic waste-of-space-and-oxygen category of scam-artistes known as 'influencers').
