Just for info:
2 months out from Christmas, and we cannot fly Economy Class from Sydney EVERY DAY from mid-December to early January. As a minimum you need to fly Premium Economy.
A few months ago, I have once again complained there's no Economy and even Premium Economy seats on SQ 218 3 months in advance for flights in June, and that followed with running out Economy Seats about a month in advance for Sydney - Singapore flights as well.
It seems that during school holiday peak season, Singapore Airlines are just don't have enough economy seats to serve its demand.
Reading about Singapore airlines’s losses and its inability to generate extra yield/revenue, why don't they review flight capacity to Australia and consider adding flights to Sydney/Melbourne during peak times? In particular where there's no bilateral restrictions of flights between Singapore and Australia unlike that with Hong Kong?
In particular I recalled last year we had SQ261 and SQ 262, the Singapore - Jakarta - Sydney service. Where is it?
And SQ 251/252 seems helpless with a B777-200ER. Perhaps it should be upgauged to B777-300 to accommodate more Economy Seats on that flight?
I don't mind to fly Premium Economy, but the pricing for Premium Economy is strange as well. Fares are comparable to fly Economy at the same time with Qantas or Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong. I would have expected provided the high demand I will be paying $17XX return for Economy Flexi return, not Premium Economy. (Other airlines would have been offering $22XX for Premium Economy return)
So any ideas/thoughts on whether SQ should increase Australia during the Christmas/Summer Peak Season?
