Originally posted by KC* View PostThanks for the input. I have no experience with CPH and ATH but AMS loads from my (very limited) experiences were high. Though from SQ228's personal observation, I guess I was just darn unlucky to always get near full flights.
I haven't flown to AMS for quite a while but noticed that it is rather difficult to secure an award ticket on it when I tried recently. I guess that did not give much representation of the true load.
Now I am wondering where to plonk some miles for a few J saver seats later in the year in the hope of an equipment change to the 380 or at least a 77W.
With the market as it is I do not think SQ will deploy newer equipment to CPH, but I suspect competition will increase with now Qatar operating and maybe soon to come Emirates. CPH will probably have to wait until 787 in SQ colors roam the skys

Just FYI.
- CX has been adding flights to JFK whereas SQ been stuck on twice daily for ages
- Makes use of 5th freedom rights from TPE
- No daily TPE-JFK flights ( tho HKG, PVG or PEK better )
Where they getting 77Ws from?
