Singapore's destinations are international, we are not talking about domestic like QF & BA which are a complete different kettle of fish.... These are widebodied aircraft - would have thought they would at least have a similar or very similar business class product |

As for the new seats, they will be a significant upgrade to the regional offerings. Think angled lie-flat seats in C, and slightly modified 77W/A380 seats in economy. The -SY* series 773's will be refitted from February onwards with a similar offering in C and Y, as well as 77W seats in First. Ash - The routes that the A330 will be operating all currently get the -SR* birds, which are regional 2-class config. They are programmed at 84k lb thrust (vs 92k for the long haul ones), 2-3-2 seating in C (50" pitch) and a regional recliner seat. Last edited by Ken K; 31st December 2008 at 02:16 PM.

You might want to check how many SQ flights are under 4 hours, you might be surprised. Yeah it explains the layout, but I asked if there was a pic or MORE detail to see what it is really like. Ie is it still a bed style seat or more of the older style upright seat? |

In my honest opinion, if the aircraft is going to be used for these regional routes, there simply isn't the need to make a full flat bed with all the gizmo. The pax will surely appreciate it but in most cases flat beds are a feature that simply most pax would not need when we're talking about 2-4 hour flights. If they don't fit in flatbeds (which take up quite a bit of legroom) the airline can also config these aircraft with more seats as well. and Qantas used the B743 on PER MEL SYD runs, also whatabout the A332 that is replacing the B743s on these runs? The concept is similar. Last edited by D Chan; 31st December 2008 at 09:20 PM. |

QF offer the skybed on all PER-SIN-PER flights. Infact QF offers the skybed on all SIN flights which i think gives them an advantage over SQs regional biz product. |

The new SQ Regional Business seat seems to be alot like Qantas' first generation Skybed seats anyway. Sounds like Singapore Airlines is upgrading it's product to MATCH Qantas.
