A350 Deliveries and Routes

[Spaniard]

They're sure keeping very secretive about where the A350 is heading next. On weekdays they now have quite an oversupply of the planes and the only new announcement is MEL in May for a 2 month period. I scanned the latest PDF timetable today looking for clues but found none.

MXP-BCN and MXP lose F on the 30th of March so my bet would be on SQ378/377 and 368/367 going A350 next

We've been waiting for MXP to go A350 so long now, you'd think it would be announced and official on timetables if it's only 3 weeks away. I've never seen SQ make so many unpredictable changes.

Fair point - not their usual modus operandi

Confirmed:

Finally Milan switches to A359. Unfortunately this route will not be cover daily during this summer. Premium economy is not yet on sale on Singapore Airlines' website.

A350 mechanical noises in flight

Not sure if this is the right thread but curious about other's A350 flying experiences.

Today was my first medium haul flight in an A350 SIN-HND and I had never noticed it during my A350 SIN-HKG flights but I found the mechanical noises quite jarring and also the descent a lot more pronounced and loud engine noises compared to the Boeings or even A330/A380. I was in 43G this time similar to a couple other times but this was for me the loudest and not the most comfortable flight in an A350 and it had nothing to do with the weather at all.

Anyone with views?

[SQ228]

Finally the news we've been waiting for.

I think the weekly terminator on Friday nights to MXP will remain 77W as the A350s are so busy on weekends at the moment.

Yes, for the time being SQ368/367 is scheduled with 77W. Also it seems that First class is still available in April on these flights.

9V-SML has rolled out onto the Flight Line. Delivery should take place in the first week of April.

Thank you SQKevin for your continued updates on this thread and all others, always fantastic information.

[SQMilan]

I don't understand why on SQ's website PE is not available from MXP but only from BCN. Also I have noticed the same cost of Economy Flexy Fare from Milan and Premium Economy Fare from BCN.

[SQ228]

SML will be good insurance once MXP begins although technically they can make it work with only SMK joing the fleet.

There is plenty of spare capacity from middle of Monday to middle of Friday. SMK can be the Friday night departure and make it back before Sunday night. Because the terminating MXP flight on Saturday night is still a 77W it can all fit.

But at this point, all eleven A350s must be in service on weekends to meet the schedule, which is a big ask, so SML would provide much needed relief to what is now becoming a substantial part of the fleet.

Does the existing SQ367/368 service operated with a B77W or B77WR?

B77W although it can also get a B77WN.

With the number of B77Ws that have been refitted to B77WR, they are actually running low on them to service the remaining routes still without PEY.
