hope so, their SQ 34 departs comfortably in the evening & connects well to BLR SQ508

Any idea when SJF is going to be delivered? I think the remaining deliveries could go up to SJJ.

Could this be a small sign that SQ will double down on their nonstop SFO flights and replace the ULR with the LH (long haul 3-class) version?

Interesting how they omit the word "MAX"

Anyone have any further updates on the A350 deliveries? I think there's like 5-6 more to be delivered, but I have also heard there's some supply chain issues over at Airbus, too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

SQ have 7x ULRs so the regos should be SGA-SGG...

Correct sorry about that. Confused myself between the SJ* to SG* series.

Except for pre-pandemic days, currently LAX is not served by the ULR.
Only SFO's evening nonstop flight is served by that aircraft (SQ34/33) a few times a week. Apart from SFO, only JFK & EWR nonstop are served by the ULR (SGA-SGE).

SQ37 by LH+ A350 9V-SJD diverted to Manila today. Any idea if it was a stop for gas or medical?SJDD.jpg

Thanks! I'm booked on SQ34 in late December and was wondering why all the ULRs were pulled off the SFO and LAX routes (only remaining for EWR). I've only flown once in J on the ULR, but is there any difference between the ULR and LH versions in J cabin (besides fewer seats)?

Btw, I was getting confused reading this thread because I thought LH meant Lufthansa and did not think SQ would be wet leasing from another carrier!

Yes the "LH+" aircraft (SMV-SMZ and SJA-SJE) can, with 8,100nm of range (full payload).

Typical flight times on LAX-SIN at the moment are 15:30 to 16:30, which is no issue.

In the winter months with strong headwinds they may not be able to carry much or any cargo (but neither can the ULR from New York in those situations).

LH+ aircraft have 280,000kg maximum takeoff weight (instead of 268t or 275t for the other LH A350s), allowing more fuel to be carried, modified winglets for lower fuel burn and Trent XWB-84 EP (Enhanced Performance) engines, which have a 1% lower fuel burn than the baseline XWB-84.

Too much information I'm sure, but yes expect a full flight!

Just a slight correction. On SQ38/37/36/35 (SIN-LAX sectors), the "LH+" do not have cargo loaded into the front cargo bay in order to make the trip with full pax load.

SQ34/33 are just temporary using some LH version as SQ is doing maintainance to the ULR. 9V-SGA is out of action since 15/9.

SQ34/33 go back to full ULR from 1/1/23.
