More SIA flights to meet Northern winter (2011-12) travel demand

[SMK77]

They still haven't announced what they are going to do with the two new A380 joining SQ...

It says effective date 30 October - does that mean the date the flight becomes available? If so, when will we see the schedule released?

Schedule is released and already in SQ system for reservation for some of the changes.

Is it for the 3rd daily LHR A380 service to begin by the end of the year, or has that already been accounted for?

No, not yet. Has Singapore announced any date for this? London might go fully A380 once they get more A380 in 2012.

I am trying to see the new BKK schedule, but it hasn't appeared yet. Does anyone have any idea what it will be - what time the extra flight will slot in.

Should be available as early this afternoon (Thursday 21JUL11). Routine schedule update usually occurs on Thursday.

Probably few discrepancies like BOM gets 21 weekly and IST currently showing 7 weekly will be fixed too.

This hopefully presents some opportunities to burn some KF miles on F Savers...

Apart from those changes, SQ didn't change schedules for others.

BOM still showing 21 iso 17 weekly
IST still showing 7 iso 6 weekly

IST is 4 weekly direct and goes to 6 weekly direct fropm what I understand. Or did I read that announcement wrong? Anyways, it will be a welcome addition as at least it will have C savers on the 772ER.

However, considering that TK has recently been very consistent of putting their A333 onto this same route which has fully flat (no angled) new C on it and the better food on TK this is becoming a more complicated decision in particular if you are not using KF miles but other *A FFP miles.

Has SQ been flying 772ERs to Istanbul? I always had the impression that they fly the refitted 777-200s.

It is increasing from 4 to 6 weekly but SQ didn't update their system properly.

wow, 747's back to HK again ! better than the super old 772's anytime !

Well I have had two colleagues on this IST flights as of late and both had SpaceBeds in C on a two-class aircraft which can only be a 772ER.

SQ490/491 has been operated by 9V-SVE, 9V-SVI, 9V-SVJ, 9V-SVL and 9V-SVN over the last 2-3 weeks and if I'm not mistaken they are all listed as B777-212ER.
