I miss the original 2006 J seats!

Understand SQ is fast refurbishing their planes. I’m keen to go for a few trips on these oldies before they get all replaced with the new seats. (Some may think this is an odd request - but they’re wide, comfy leather, generally makes me feel at home and brings back nice memories.)

Which routes have them still?

Most A380 routes have them.
All 777-200ER routes.
3 x 777W have them. They are on SQ805, SQ800, SQ285, SQ286, SQ634, SQ635

Thanks. Alas I must be unlucky. All my A380 routes of late has been the 2013 and 2017 versions.

Slight correction - only 2x 77Ws still have them - SQ800/805/634/635.

SWS has been refurbished to the 2013 configuration. SQ285/286 is running on the newer 77W configuration.

They must have been 2017 versions as none have the 2013 seats.

SQ226 has always had these seats. It is our preferred flight to SIN as it has a more civilised departure time and until recently the other flights from PER were on the regional config A330 or 772.

However taking the 787 on SQ215 a couple of weeks ago may change that if they start using these for the other evening flight.

This has a handy table showing how may of each config are in the fleet.
