LH A380 Flies To Singapore

[ek&sq]

Serious, perhaps. Superior...???







And that's just the hardware. We haven't gotten to the software/service yet...

LH A380 > SQ 744
LH A380 < SQ A380
LH A380 = SQ 77W (Y equal, SQ J better, LH F better)

[Fryderyk HPH]

Little birdies say that SQ will be reacting to the change as well.

The only thing I'm waiting for is SQ to confirm SIN - FRA - JFK - TPE - SIN v.v., and I can't wait for the announcement to be released...

It's almost a done deal... Just simple housekeeping issues to iron out and you'll have SQ join the RTW league

What do little birdies say about equipment to be used and if the RTW is on the SQ26 or SQ 326 timings?

SQ's J class is 1 - 2 - 1... LH one is 2 - 2 - 2.

+1 I don't see where LH is superior. In C, slope vs flat can't even compare.

I think what he's trying to say is that SQ 744 F/Y loses out to LH 388 F/Y by a significant margin. Hopefully SQ will match LH's 388 service in Oct 2011 then.

If they did nothing and kept the 744s on the SIN-FRA route instead of fighting back with the 388, then yes, I'd be of the opinion that the mass populi would imagine the LH 388 to be superior in terms of product-offering.

Service-offering, I think SQ would still pull ahead ex-SIN, and let's not forget TPR for SQ F pax.

I was comparing the premium cabins LH 388 vs SQ 744 mostly (added: And let me qualify that by saying I'm not a fan of the Spacebed. At all. LH 388 J or SQ 744 J, I'd probably not care for either of them, to be frank - they are both not fully-flat). Y-wise, haven't had a chance to really try either for any lengthy flight, thank goodness.

Speaking of that, I hope it will be a full flat bed by the time it comes in Oct~

Doubt that's going to happen.

And personally, I prefer LH A380 F seats to SQ 77W's.

I have a feeling I would also. Again, I'd have to try both to be sure.

Hell, I'm just wondering if BD F redemptions are fully available...

Could not agree more (if we're talking only about hard product.) LH service is a bit of a mixed bag. They do a very consistent job but can be a bit cold sometimes. That's why I much prefer LX, especially on long haul.

LH's 388 and SQ's 744 J hard product are on par though. I think SQ's J pulls far and away ahead once talk about the newer planes. Would the A333's regional product be better even?

Also I should ask - wouldn't price be a big consideration for people? I would seriously consider taking a lot of my custom to LH even if it means transiting in FRA because in the future my flights will either be to AMS, which is an old aircraft with SQ, or London, (which i'd love to be able to go to LCY direct). I already do a lot of my flying with EK, so transit stops aren't a major issue to me...

Effective October 30, Lufthansa will fly its A380 to Singapore. The daily service from FRA will return in SIN and no longer fly to CGK.

Similar to SQ, LH does not allow award redemptions for other *A FFPs on their A380 First Class. Commercial tickets SIN-FRA return in First are available starting from 11.500 SGD.

From 30OCT11:

FRA SIN A380
MUC SIN CGK A340-300

[SQueeze]

We can trust jimyvr so it's confirmed then

[Kyo]

From 30OCT11:

FRA SIN A380
MUC SIN CGK A340-300

Is this going to be a 388 daily route?

[SMK77]

LH has uploaded the A380 on the systems now, so no sources needed...

SQ will send their A380 to Frankfurt as well, I think that's an open secret.

LH's First Class is a very nice product on the A380 and tough competition for SQ's Suites.

SQ's Business Class is superior to LH's Business Class but LH offers a lot better fares and with 99 seats to fill, that should stay that way.

Differences in Economy will be minimal and price will matter. Let's see.

Is this going to be a 388 daily route?

Yes both LH flights will be going Daily.
