I don't mean to defend CX and the seats on our regional 777's but lets compare apples with apples shall we.

ok, according to "seat guru"

SQ's regional 777-200 and 300 have "standard recliner seat" 50" pitch 20" width

CX regional 777-200 and 300 have a "standard recliner seat" 45" pitch 20"width

So bag the 777's old seats as much as you like but it's basically the same seat as SQ in the REGION.

SQ do have 777's with lie flat beds but they mostly use them on long haul routes.

The seats on the old 777's are better than the newer regional version anyway. ( HNM HNN HNO HNP HNQ have the newer seats ) as they have more legroom. I had lunch in J class in 2 of our 772's during transit this very week and they are NOT tatty at all.

Who needs a lie flat bed for 1 to 4 hour flights anyway?

The only difference may be the entertainment system, SQ may have a better choice of video on their regional 777?
