MSN 485 will be 9V-SHW, a A350-900 Regional. Looks like we will have to wait awhile more to see if there will be a 9V-SJC or 9V-SJD. There is currently a SQ A350-900 (MSN 494) on the Final Assembly Line with an unknown registration.

Question, A350LH flights to SEA and LAX only use A350s 9V-SMV onwards. Is it because they are more fuel efficient with the new winglets or is there another reason?
From the latest summer schedule, it seems like SQ is dropping the A359ULR to both SFO and LAX, instead using the 3-class A350s. That leaves JFK the only destination consistently served by the ULR sub fleet.
I understand there were plans to potentially double-down on non-stop services to NYC pre-covid. With the recent upgrade of SQ25/26 to the A380, I do not envision that happening soon.
Any guesses on the plans SQ might have with loading the remaining ULR? There is enough capacity now to effectively open up 2 new non-stop routes to the U.S. east coast.

I think SQ might keep the ULR on SFO. The seat map for SQ34/33 indicate LH A350. But they are not selling the Y seats on this flight. So maybe they are checking the demand as well.

I don’t know if the schedule is completely updated. SQ34/33 is probably not updated time-wise and also seat wise. I think if they are using the ULR now they will update to reflect.
Probably would wait a month to see if its further updated with that.
I believe SQ have already updated the schedule for Sunmer 2022. SQ22/21 (EWR) is on the schedule. So SQ might be flying there.
Indeed SQ22/21 daily is back (ULR), for three times daily service to and from New York (i.e. the pre-COVID plan for October 2020 onwards that never happened!).
Quite ambitious, offering a non-stop morning and midnight departure in both directions on the New York route, plus the A380 via FRA.
EWR-SIN shows as non-VTL for the time being, though I'd expect that to be updated later.
2 x daily New York ULR plus potentially SQ34/33 SFO 3 x weekly, which looks like it may switch to ULR, requires 5 aircraft to operate (but 5th frame not fully utilised, so it's more like 4.5 aircraft).
Still plenty of scope for another daily service somewhere or other, while also retaining aircraft 7 as a spare.

I don’t remember any EWR resumption announcement, but the S22 schedule for SQ34/33 looks like it’s pre-covid schedule, I wonder if that 3PM schedule holds or the 6:40PM which is already in use for the last 1 year.
Also that flight is only 3 times a week, the current SQ34/33 flight is a daily flight even with the nonstop morning flight coming back in February.
