Sq to fly a380 into mel from sept.

[Nigelinoz]

SQ will start flying the A380 into MEL from September 29.
The flights will replace the 744 currently operating the service.

SQ flies A380 to Melbourne

And the fairfax version

Singapore to start super-jumbo on Melbourne service

Will the A380 mel-singapore service link up with the A380 singapore-London services in a reasonable time frame so that melbournians can go a380 the whole way to london?

I'm sure it does. SQ A380 is now double daily SIN-LHR.

Is that all 744's in/out of Melb?

As I have several J savers already booked on the 744.

 

[lovetravellingoz]

Yep...my J 744 award flights are now all on the A380 including one I booked just last weekend.

Bugga though as I was just about to book another J flight in a couple of weeks.

The downside is to that as I live in Melb is that J Saver Awards are now only available to SIN on one flight per day rather than 2 out of three....and so will be harder to get.

If that flight disappears then the attractiveness of KF...and the Westpac KF card will decrease.

I suppose we can live in hope that SQ changes its policy re 77W, 380....

Cough, splutter .....

 

[munitalP]

Do Singapore load the fares for the 380 such as QF does?


Mr!

We can.

However as they now have addeda bigger plane on a route where the planes are not always currently full there might be a risk of the saver Flight being removed too.

Still I almot have my next 12 months worth of flights booked (just need a return from Europe).

But Xmas 2010 is now a bit less certain.

Hopefully this forces QF to expedite the use of the 388 on MEL-SIN-LHR too.

QF9/QF10 could really use the extra capacity all the times i have flown it recently, always very full.

Hopefully not *too* full when I fly in November, but I do have 40G
