SIN-PER-SIN - Is it ever a 772-ER?
I've got a Raffles booking on this route - flights SQ225 & 224 in December. I know PER flights don't usually have the new Spacebed Raffles, but do they at least sometimes?

I wish SQ would start specifying in their timetables and schedules in greater details regarding the type of a/c. Yes I agree that it's frustrating that you'll see a 777-200 listed on the schedules but don't know whether it is a 772 ER or not. But I guess you can always call them and ask.

On airliners.net photo search page i plugged in a some search criteria -
1) Airport: Perth,
2) Airline: Singapore airlines,
3) Aircraft: 777,
4)and in the keywords field - I manually typed the 9V-SV* series registrations
9V-SV series planes are spacebed equipped ones.
I can tell you that 9V-SVA and SVC at least have been in perth at some stage, meaning that SOMETIMES (rarely, i suspect, due to the low number of SV series photos), you do get the Spacebed equipped planes on that route.
The other way to tell is to make a dummy booking in J and then pull up the seat map

I think what he meant was do an online booking without entering your credit card details at the end and not proceeding to the final booking stage at the end. Thus, only completing certain stages of the online booking process, not the whole.

You can do dummy booking through, for example, www.flyaow.com/class.htm
