[zxcvbn]

Abovementioned flight delayed 171 minutes on departure and 176 minutes on arrival.

Anyone know why?

[Singapore_Air]

I can't find this flight. Could you check the departure date from SFO?

[A350]

its not only this flight... there is another 12 flights delayed daily for the month

wonder what is SQ doing?

[zxcvbn]

departure from SFO is not affected as the flight arrived at 2100 but SQ1 departs 0005 or something like that

[Singapore_Air]

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about SQ1.

Aiyah! 747s showing their age?

When is the 380 going to show up on this run?

Possibly when SQ takes delivery of Whalejets 4 and 5...

And the question of whether these would do the SIN-NRT-LAX or SIN-HKG-SFO route first is still up in the air at this time?

i flew SMW before. it was quite unforgettable. some rubber insulation tubing on the ceiling next to my seat flopped down during takeoff. i helped the stewardess stuff it back. it came off again during turbulence over the indian ocean and was flopping around for a while. got up and stuffed it back in again. an hour later came off yet again. this time i asked the stewardess for duct tape and taped the damned tubing to the ceiling. it must have been quite amusing for the people around me.

Always SFO first... SQ tradition

I was under the impression that SQ2/1 will go to the A380 daily once the 6th aircraft is in service.

I have heard that SIN-HKG-SFO is a more profitable route for SQ than SIN-NRT-LAX. In fact I've heard that the former is among the airline's most profitable long-haul routes.

I can attest to that since it always seems to be full whenever I try to book that flight. The alternative flight is SQ15, SFO-ICN-SIN. Even though it gets in after 0100 (because it leaves 12 hours later than SQ1), they use the 777-300ER on that route with the new cabin. That kinda sorta makes up for the late arrival...

Hopefully when the big fat hen makes its debut on SQ1/2, it'll be easier to get a seat!

All the better - coz I just hate going through LAX!

SFO is my port of choice on the west coast, and JFK on the east!

oh ya... it is conformed about 2 weeks after 9V-SKE is delivered... we will have SIN-HKG-SFO a380 service! sq1 and sq2

[MegatopLover]

When is 9V-SKE scheduled to be delivered?
