    The 77W is off the SIN-MEL-SIN route from the 1st of April

      I expect MEL to probably get a second daily WhaleJet service by about October, with the delivery of 9V-SKO.

        can probably blame me

        I'm booked to fly the 77W back to MEL in April and I am prone to being SQ'ed (as someone suggested a term for it) which is happening again.

        Hope it is a refurnbished 773 that replaces the 77W though.

            Just curious, if SKL and SKM are used for the SIN-NRT-LAX vv. route, what is SKN going to be used for then?

              All the aircraft in a subfleet are used for all the routes flown by that subfleet. When SKL and SKM are delivered, SQ will have enough WhaleJets to upgauge SIN-NRT-LAX, but that does not mean these birds will fly to LAX.

              It looks like SQ will soon have two subfleets of WhaleJets, one as currently configured and the other with all business class on the upper deck.

                Ok got it. But what I meant was that the SQ11/12 route should only need two 388s to operate, and the MEL route should only need one 388 (I'm not sure).

                So it seems that the last route operating the 744s would be SQ25/26, and FRA will not be seeing 388s until mid-2012 at least? I have read previous discussions that whether or not the 388 will operate the FRA-JFK route is still uncertain.

                Thanks.

                  There was an advert in today's Strait Times to announce the A380 to Los Angeles from March.

                      Not yet into February and already a contender for sillyest post of the year.....

                            It's fortunate that route planning is not the only available profession.

                                SQ285/286 (AKL)
                                SQ11/12 (LAX via Narita)
                                SQ 407/408 (DEL)

                                DEL will only happen if LAX does not materialise.
                                Update on this rumour (and I quote the source):

                                DEL will happen in Oct 2011 whereby one whalejet flight will replace the current two daily flights. Flight timings will follow SQ407/408 schedule.

                                No update on AKL route....seems to have slipped thru the cracks as it was not mentioned at all.

                                SIN-FRA-JFK-TPE-SIN(vv) also by Oct 2011 using 77W initially and later upgrading to the whalejet.
