          ATH usually 2 weekly in Winter and 3 in Summer (March - Oct)

          Including SQ002/001, HKG is 6 daily, but it's not the one getting axed temporarily

            Singapore - Hong Kong

            SQ860/863 (Till 17MAY09) 7 773 (Eff 18MAY09) 7 772
            SQ862/861 (Till 28MAR09) 7 773/77W (Eff 29MAR09) 7 77W
            SQ866/865 (Till 03FEB09) 7 744 (Eff 04FEB09) 7 772
            SQ868/873 (Till 03FEB09) 6 772 (Eff 29MAR09) 7 772
            SQ870/859 (Till 28MAR09) 7 772 (Eff 29MAR09) 7 772

            But if not the SQ2/1 cancel, then which other flights are cancel? I don't see any service discontinue after 29 Mar...?

            Are they implying the temporary suspension on SQ868/873 from 04 Feb till 28 Mar...?

            I seen an increasing service on SQ868/873 from 6 times a week to daily...?

                I don't think SIN/SGN/SIN is 3x daily.

                My flights just got rebooked (and having axed the morning SGN-SIN flight, I now apparently land in SIN AFTER my connection departs to HKG - how convenient).

                Try the SQ site booking and this is what's on offer in August. Note the unusual numbering 178-185 !

                SIN->SGN
                172 07:50-08:55
                178 12:55-14:00

                SGN->SIN
                173 14:50-17:45
                185 19:50-22:45

                  How weird? When I tried it showed up with 3 flights.

                  SIN->SGN
                  172 07:50-08:55
                  178 12:55-14:00
                  186 17:40-18:45

                  SGN->SIN
                  171 10:00-12:55
                  173 14:50-17:45
                  185 19:50-22:45

                  The dates were from 17 AUG to 20 AUG.

                    Did you do "show schedule" or "book a flight"?

                    The schedule seems to show all three but only two are actually bookable. Yesterday the third was bookable on Fridays only!

                    Also Sabre only shows two.

                      Yeah. The schedule shows all three but when I used "book a flight" it showed 4. With SQ171 being the addition and SQ186 doesnt show up. Used the same dates.

                        Oh no! That will make things a lot more difficult from SYD.
                        Down to 1 747 flight per day!
                        As I checked, award availability after June seem to be down to one flight per day in business class.

                        On the bright side, one of my SIN-SYD flight got converted to 77W.
                        My SQ 608 (SIN-ICN) looks like it is getting cancelled, and got rebooked to SQ16. Another 77W!

                          Eventhough SQ231/2 has been changed to 77W from June, the online system show Business Saver awards for this flight in June!

                          Is this the beginning of the lifting of embargoes on certain 77W flights? or just a transitional glitch of the online award booking system?

                            If you do a search on other dates down the road, it will show that Saver Redemptions blocked off.
