Official : A350 on SIN-SFO & SIN-LAX , Removal of GRU

[SQ228]

No comms re BCN yet? It's just a month to the termination of GRU so would have expected an update on any changes by now. Sadly it all seems to point to scaling back to just 3x weekly MXP-BCN

No, the plans are out in the PDF timetable.

All BCN flights will operate via MXP as they did prior to GRU.

From 22OCT, 5x weekly flights to BCN via MXP. An additional MXP terminator is to operate bringing MXP up to 6x weekly.

At this point in time, 77W is the designated aircraft for all days.

Thanks SQ228! Had hoped for a terminator service but guess the 77W is too big for the load. We'll keep our hopes for an eventual 359 terminator service once the number in the fleet grows

951 is a B772; 32 is an A359....

My bad then. Then you're talking about your own connection not the plane's turnaround time to perform another route.

Still a 3-class 77W though, I thought it was mentioned at one point rumors that MXP would get PEY (77WR).

Lots of rumours, lack of A359s to have any hope of making them a reality. The other issue as well is as to where all the 77Ws would suddenly go.

AMS, DUS, JNB/CPT, MXP/BCN, DME, MUC, CPH, FCO- every single one of these destinations departs around midnight and returns the following day around dawn. To cover all of them you would need at least 12 A359s plus an additional one for the SFO interworking with one of the above destinations.

Longer term they will indeed have that many A359s and the 77Ws can be shifted to shorter, higher-yield routes to improve the interior product and they can retire the older 777s, especially on routes like HKG, SYD, MEL, NRT/HND etc. Until then, we all wait in suspense like we always do, eager for each announcement...

Seems like there will be a weight restriction on the SIN-SFO route. According to a SQ staff at SFO, the A350 will have zero cargo and there will be seats blocked throughout each cabin to lighten the weight....

Seems like it would be more for the SFO-SIN sector where there would be strong headwinds. SIN-SFO is relatively easy to do on the A350, with flight time approximately similar to SIN-Europe flights.

i will be on the inaugural SIN-SFO SQ32 on 23rd October! Any other SQTalkers who will be on the same flight?

Please take lots of good photos and videos and write a nice, detailed TR so we can live SQ32 vicariously

I wonder what the meal plan will be on SQ 31 - lunch then dinner?

I just looked at my booking for this flight in December, and it looks like they will serve breakfast and dinner.

I am taking SQ32 in November, and the flight time is published as 14 hours 35 minutes, which is still longer than SIN-LHR. Of course, with strong tailwinds, the duration may become identical to European flights. The return flight, however, is published to take 17 hours 15 minutes.

Yes. When I see a TR of SQ31, I will know exactly what my mom will go through, as far as meals are concerned.

My assumption for meals 2 meals though my mom believes it's not enough but always on longhaul flights with SQ, there will be help yourself snacks and all.

Hello everyone!!
New to this and my first post here! Been following since a long time as a non-member and very excited to now be a part of it ��.
I would like to ask you guys something, and sorry if I am posting it in the wrong thread.
So basically I have booking from CAN to LAX on 07/12/16 on SQ853/SQ12 via SIN/NRT.
Return on 20/12/16 LAX-CAN on the new SQ7/SQ850 via ICN/SIN.

I then recently had a change of plans and decided to stopover in Tokyo for 4 days - i.e. until 11/12/16 and pulled back the return sector to the 18th as well. Spoke with the call center only to be told there are no same fare class seats available on the dates I require including the stopover - jfyi I am using Premium Economy on SIN-NRT-LAX-ICN-SIN and the highest Economy Flexi fare on CAN-SIN vv.
Did a dummy booking on these dates online and it shows the seats are available.
Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When you were doing the repricing, was it priced as a single booking or separate for CAN>>>SIN vv and SIN>>>LAX vv

Snacks are provided in Y on all long haul flights to Europe upon request, and they frequently bring them through the cabin in baskets. Usually sandwiches, chocolate bars, cookies, chips and fruit.
