Without looking at the exact numbers I don't think SQ's A350's are much different in capacity to the aircraft on the route now and the old two class 772ER's that used to go nonstop.
MAN used to handle a daily nonstop flight to SIN with ease. In fact, shortly before the triple whammy of the GFC, lack of aircraft due to delayed 380's and poor fleet planning along with a huge increase in the price of oil (MAN was heavy on fuel as it was the longest nonstop 777 flight in the network) the route was doing so well that they requested a second daily flight three times a week to cope with the demand. I used to be waitlisted for a JCL seat quite often in those days.

If you are only flying back into MAN on SQ328 and not out from there on SQ327 then you stay on board in MUC for the hour the aircraft is on the ground. We are supposed to be decoupling from MUC and going nonstop on the A350 but when (or if) that happens only a few in the tower at Airline House can know for sure. It's met with a shrug of the shoulders by the staff at MAN these days.
It was supposed to be one of the first to get it so it is slightly worrying that hasn't happened. From a route viability point of view the sooner they do that the better imo, even if it means we lose F on the route. CX are having a ball on their new route to MAN and are also supposed to be going daily next year. The A350 nonstop with Y, PE and J would be ideal for the route.
On that note, the aircraft was roughly 50:50 split MUC:MAN. Overhearing a couple general discussions, it seems that a number of pax ex MAN on the SIN route frequently use the ME3 via their respective hubs rather than the SQ stopper (as all routes require a stop to SIN in any event from MAN - even if you went via LHR, AMS or CDG).
I hope we see news on this during the course of 2016.

Amazing that such errors can be made when SQ ads usually dont really have that many words in it.

The bird has safely arrived at DUS.
Tonight will be a nice party organized by SQ where I am invited. They have chartered a cruise ship and we will have dinner on the boat etc. I can even bring along my wife as the pesonalized invitation is for 2 persons.
It is not uncommon that SQ organizes events here in Germany. At least one time a year you are invited to a restaurant of your choice with your PPS service representative.

Really wish I could have been on that flight. Was it full?
In J, I didn't see any empty seats, not sure about Y though.
I was talking with a guy, seated one row behind me, turned out he is from the media (a newspaper in Indonesia) and he said many media people are traveling on SQ's invitation, from Indonesia, Australia, Philippines etc. At least 10 persons and they are seated in J.
