LHR to get fourth daily flight

[FlyingDan]

From 28OCT12:

SQ306 SIN0045 - 0655LHR 77W D
SQ305 LHR1515 - 1155+1SIN 77W D

While I appreciate a 77W flight, these timings are absolute rubbish to me

It is confusing, Is this only for the interim period?
After 28 Oct? It will be simple 3x daily A380 and 1x daily 77W?

Correct.

9V-SIA should be pleased.

Probably from MEL, as usual!!

[mr_botak]

Just dreaming here for purely personal reasons, but could 305/6 have a tag covering LHR-MAN.

That would be interesting! Goodbye M40.

I just got home last night on SQ319.

Would you believe it is only my 3rd time on A380 J class? And last time if I had a choice.

Looking forward to return of 77W.

I'm not the only one. London-based friends who do the LHR-SIN commute have no way of burning miles.

(600,000 miles to upgrade from J to R is a bit silly)

[inix]

And availability for F is now plentiful! I just checked.. Unfortunately, I'm paid to fly Y, not J, and it makes no sense for me to go book F, upgrade myself on J via cash and change the ticket upgrade to F...

Oh well

From today's edition of ATW online...

Airline Routes
June 13, 2012

Singapore Airlines will increase 3X-daily Airbus A380 Singapore-London Heathrow service to Boeing 777-300ER 4X-daily Oct. 21.

Late and misinformed...sounds like the Daily Mail.

[hybridace101]

Guess the rumours were right, but not due to Olympics.

Here are the flight schedules.

It couldn't come right in time for the Jubilee, olympics or my trip to LHR next week. I could sure use an extra 15 mins in layover time. We have been getting a lot of delays in MNL lately due to runway constraints. Too bad SQ missed the party.

Not sure what is happening with LHR at the moment but last nights SQ322 was showing as 'Cancelled / ask airline' on the screens last night. Asking about it they were saying that a couple of times with the new SQ306 running SQ322 has been cancelled and SQ306 run with a 380. This strikes me as a rather strange way to go about it and I have to confess I hadn't heard of many SQ322 cancellations ?.

Yes I also notice this the past 2 weeks..what is happening actually ?

A380 sometimes with SQ 322, sometimes with SQ 306.

Sincerely hope they do this a little for regularly... especially ss I have F saver redemption in November on 305/306 !!!

According to the PDF timetable, these are actually planned cancellations.

SQ322 does not depart from SIN on October 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 & 17. On these days SQ306 operates as an A380- all organised in advance it seems.

As of October 28, all four flights will take up their daily pattern utilising the same craft.

I guess if you were running the LHR flight information system and SQ told you that it was not operating SQ322 for six specific days only, I reckon it'd be easier to enter cancellations into your database than reprogram the flight for two weeks, maybe. (I work with advanced timetabling software but not in aviation, so I can't be certain, just a guess!)

Well that would explain it, although I still maintain cancelling the long standing and popular SQ322 is a bizarre way of going about it.

SQ305/6 is a 77W not 380.
