No more 747 for SQ25/26 from mid-January 2012:
Up to mid-January 2012, there are saver seats in both Business and First for both SIN-FRA and FRA-JFK.
From mid-January 2012, there are Standard Awards in Business but no Saver Awards and no Saver and no Standard Awards in First. This strongly suggests that this could be an A380. Surprisingly, it's the same for SIN-FRA and FRA-JFK while most comments suggested, SQ would not fly the A380 FRA-JFK.
After mid-January 2012, SQ is obviously putting at least one 747 on the SIN-HKG route. Maybe that's the spare bird that can be used if any A380 goes tech? Or they haven't sold all 747 yet and just continue utilizing it for that reason - if they sold it they can change the aircraft for SIN-HKG without too much inconvenience for their customers.

30 Jan 2012 seems to be the date from which both F savers and F standards are no longer available on SQ25/26. J standards continue to be available.
