I would love to see Madrid reinstated. With TG withdrawing the route it is not connected to south east Asia and it's very well connected to Latin America.

SQ should de-link MAN from MUC especially now that CX does MAN-HKG and can offer a one-stop connection to Australia from Manchester.

I think splitting MAN and MUC is highly likely given this statement in their recent results briefing:
"And these non-stop operations will provide us with a competitive advantage over anyone who has to stop in between, which means that as we all know, premium traffic, particularly business traffic, would actually prefer non-stops. So that would allow us to actually capture that traffic. There will be a preference for those non-stops."
And this was not speaking about the ULH variant as that was covered separately.
They are also talking up their partnerships with TK and SK so I am expecting to see IST and CPH go daily with the A350 as well as BCN and GRU switching over. MAN and MUC may well split, but I can't see it likely they'd both retain daily frequency.

For anyone heading to MAN, they'd have a painfully early check-in! With a 0610 departure, you would be leaving a city hotel no later than 0330...

DUS airport have written up SQ and the new A350 in rather glowing terms (as you'd expect) and are also pushing the concept of onward connections to SE Asia and Australia.

SQ just announced a direct thrice-weekly service to DUS with the A359. I didn't see this one coming...

In Y it actually does quite well during the school holidays when it can be full on MUC-MAN and vv with families going skiing and also when Utd or City are playing Bayern Munich in the champions league. The rest of the year it's a smattering but still a few. On SQ327 its difficult to see who gets on at MAN for MUC as everyone gets on together whether going to MUC or SIN but on the MUC-MAN leg on SQ328 we stay on board and they announce when the new pax are about to board. There is always a handful at least. I'm on SQ328 tomorrow night so I'll see how many get on at MUC.
