Originally posted by zvezda View PostIt may be that SQ have been waiting until they know with more confidence (following the more than one month delay of 9V-SKG) when they will get 9V-SKI before updating the public schedule.
A very short flight for such a *luxurious* aircraft.
Maybe SFO is next on the cards....probably unlikely as the loads don't warrant it.F all the way. Settle for J. Usually whY. Sigh.

Originally posted by zvezda View PostSIN-NRT-LAX is far more likely than SIN-HKG-SFO.
I'm hoping too that SIN-NRT-LAX is next as I have a vested interest in that route being upgauged to the SuperJumbo.
When this happens, do you think that SQ will keep the existing SIN-NRT-SIN A380 service? I do not know if the loads are good at the moment.F all the way. Settle for J. Usually whY. Sigh.

Originally posted by sumitsan View PostThere are super deals for SQ11/12 and for 3 SYD flights going on right now for flights up to November as long as they are bought by June 28. If they get upgauged to WhaleJet sooner, can pax still travel on those cheap tickets?

When is the earliest this could possibly happen, would you say? I've slightly lost track of the delivery schedule!

Originally posted by maxmin View PostI thought that you'd predicted SQ11/12 as unlikely to be a contender in the near future... are you changing your tune?

Originally posted by maxmin View PostNow I understand what you're saying.... may I just ask then, what is the earliest it could happen if your prediction about the Australian routes is correct?

Originally posted by zvezda View PostIf both MEL and a 2nd daily SYD are upgauged first and if SQ are willing to downgauge SQ637/SQ638, then SQ will have enough WhaleJets to upgauge SQ11/SQ12 when 9V-SKK is delivered -- which currently looks like January 2010. Of course, those are two large ifs.
I guess that the ulitmate gating factor is the delivery of 9V-SKK.
Wouldn't that downguage be alienating to existing bookings? I guess if they downguaged 637/638 to 77W it wouldn't be as upsetting to current pax as downguaging to a 744.

I didn't even think about it earlier, but I realized that A380 Raffles and Suites are not in the same category as the 744 Raffles and First. I have Upper Deck seats for SQ11/12 and SkySuite for SQ219/220 in September. I wonder what would happen to my bookings if they upgauge the 744 to the WhaleJet for those routes before my travel time.
