It's been in the hangar for 4.5 months. Aug 2018 to January 2019. It's flown SQ345/SQ346 (ZRH) 3 or 4 times now and SQ856/SQ861 (HKG) about 2 or 3 times since January 9/10. It would not make any financial sense for Singapore Airlines to put this plane in the hangar for 4 to 5 months without retrofitting it.
If Singapore did do the switcharoo for SIN-ZRH and SIN-HKG to the old config, we would've heard it about now with people complaining.
this screenshot I took on January 8:

Definitely, FRA-JFK is round the clock new suites by Jun 1 because of the equipment change reported on routesonline.

I read an article that said the best way to tell whether a route will be getting the new suites is to see if Singapore is selling only 6 F for the flight because often times seat maps will show the "old" configuration and airlines can't commit to hard dates for equipment changes.
How can I do that? EF will always say F4 and .com will only let you select 6 seats max.

lookup seatmaps on EF?
dont follow SQ enough to be able to guide, but I do know that EF can go beyond 4 availability on SQ if you do not specify the airline.

Yes, the point was to see if a route would change to new suites pre-announcement and SQ does not load the new seat map until after the announcement.

New to EF, are you all taking about revenue seats or award? I find EF award search for SQ meaningless (for F/R class) since it only searches partner awards.

JFK route
I saw an earlier comment that the new suites might be ready by June 1st flying to JFK. Has anyone heard any news since? I've got a flight in October from SIN to JFK and am hopeful it might be in the new suites. I havent been successful in finding any news on the next route.
