Just heard it seems the route is starting sept 20 4x week and it's a 777 not a330.

Afternoon all,

4 flights a week starting 20/9/16 using B777-200ER's. Flights arrive in CBR and WLG Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday

SQ291 Dep SIN 2300 Arr CBR 0835+1 Dep CBR 0950 Arr WLG 1505
SQ292 Dep WLG 2015 Arr CBR 2205 Dep CBR 2330 Arr SIN 0550+1

Customer friendly timings. Easy when you're using a low-demand old 777 I guess.

Perfect time for FOG too ;) doesn't clear till after 10am and sets in early at night.

For those doing the entire Singapore - Wellington trip, the transit stop in Canberra will be a tad boring as they will be kept quarantined from the area where the coffee shop/bar/newsagent is. Might even keep them on board I guess

60 days to go. The international terminal to be of 'business' standard.

Air NZ should start AKL - CBR flights with a good connection point for their North American routes same terminal. It will come eventually suprised SQ got in first though!

Tomorrow (Wednesday 21st Sept) sees the commencement of Singapore Airlines' service SIN-CBR-WLG vv.

I'm told that, weather and operational requirements permitting, SQ291 SIN-CBR will conduct a flyover of the CBD and Lake Burley Griffin area prior to its scheduled arrival at 0835. Sadly, BOM is forecasting cloudy with an 80% chance of 8-20mm of rain for tomorrow ("morning and afternoon").

Still too early for a rego at this stage but can all but rule out 9V-SQN and -SRO.

I thought it was an 8:50 arrival ?

Definitely 0835 based on SQ online flight status and also the email I saw this morning.
