When SQ took delivery of their 787 they started with Japan before expanding to other places. Everywhere except HND for now.

Originally posted by ell3 View Postwhat an odd timing...given the lack of transport options out of haneda, i wouldn't want to do SQ630 inbound .. or even SQ639 outbound.
are they just trying to utilize their available slots or is there really that much of a demand i wonder?

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostI reckon it could be both. But at the same time if there is demand SQ634/635 should also have PEY as well.
any possibility they could be axing SQ634/635 and that this is a replacement?

Originally posted by ell3 View Postneither SQ630 outbound nor SQ639 inbound seems to fit any flight connections. i'm suspecting it could be the potential demand for SQ639. SQ635 is, after all quite popular.

Well SQ639 may be ok, as you can be at the airport early.
But SQ630 is really bad timing. ETA is at 01:00. You need to leave airport around 2am. Not sure if there is still public transport. Not to mention that you need to pay accommodation for the night when you only arrive hotel near dawn.
They probably need to sell it cheap.visit my blog

Originally posted by 259850 View PostThis is probably true. I've flown SQ852/3 to and from CAN a few times the last year, and I've never seen J more than 1/3rd full, and Y more than 2/3rds (usually just about half). Probably due to the late arrival/early departure, after most ground and air connections to CAN end (other than taxis into the city). The lead steward once told me (on a service when only 3 J seats were occupied) they can't give up slots in China, no matter what. I don't see the logic though.

Originally posted by ell3 View Postgiving up the slot means allowing another singapore based budget carrier to snatch more market share perhaps?
Sometimes it is the low prices that budget airlines offer which made these services at ‘ungodly’ hour a possibility to sustain.

I for one like to spend more time in the country I am visiting, whether for pleasure or for work, and flights like SQ635, SQ981, SQ7 are usually the flights I take outbound back to Singapore.
