Flights to/from WSI starting 23 November 2026

[Xtrap2.0]

SIN - WSI is one of the few rare daytime flights so there might be some novelty in that.

To Sydney there’s already SQ241 and SQ211 as the daytime flights, however 241 with a 7am departure is not appealing for those coming directly from Singapore as you’d need to get up at an ungodly hour. 241 is great if you’re transiting from a Europe flight that arrives early. SQ211 is the sweet spot with the 10:30am departure and a 4-class B77W.

SQ201 looks appealing with its 11:30am departure, just like SQ217 to MEL, however worth considering it touches down in Sydney at 10:30pm - add the time it takes to clear immigration, you’re out by maybe just after 11pm and then consider how long it’ll take to get home if you don’t live in Western Sydney, unless you splurge on an Uber or have someone to pick you up.

The WSI - SIN will be reasonably popular with business sending people to work. As it allows them to bring them back and back to work the next day in SIN.

One of the few Red-eye's that goes West? Actually, maybe I just don't know schedules enough to make that comment

Most the ME airlines have a late night flight ex SYD. They’re usually very good because you get a decent sleep and arrive in Europe mid arvo.

Putting aside the current bunfight.

CX also has a late departure that pushes the curfew. The crew are always rushing to get going so they get home!

But some departures after 11pm thru the wee hours could actually be better for some airlines and PAX.

Rather than Europe I'm legitimately thinking SIN business.

Lots of business travel between SIN and SYD.

Yes, hence the last comment about leaving even later. The current 5am arrival is fine for peeps heading home and those with onward connections but probably not so good for those heading up for work?

Flying SQ, I used to aim for a late arvo flight up, ready to work the next day. Coming back, if I could I’d avoid a red-eye. That’s very difficult (impossible) flying OW ex SIN.

MH via KUL?

Yes, there’s one “sparrow’s” option, but I was thinking of non-stop options (ie QF and BA).
