TWO Special Days - Singapore Airlines Bring back the JUMBO

[Nils Kenny]

Yes that's Correct for TWO Very special Days Singapore Airlines are bringing back the Jumbo to Sydney, They only have 7 Left in the fleet and they normally fly to New York via Frankfurt and Los Angeles via Tokyo. For the 1st and 2nd of April because of the 100% plus Loads they have out of Sydney because of Easter they are giving us JUMBO'S again.

Jumbo? As of B747-400 or A380-800?
Which flight for Singapore Airlines is replacing with the 'Jumbo'?
I sincerely hope that would be an A380-800, it is not only a safety reason, it also a maintenance of service quality. I believe First and Business passengers will get cheated and will be very very very angry as they cannot find Flat Bed Seats on board the aircraft if they are deploying B744.

Here we go again... Spouting your useless/uninformed diatribe regarding SQ and the 744...

Why don't you conduct a customer satisfaction survey and proceed to ask all F & J pax of these 'affected' services what they thought about having the equipment swap...

[Michael Morrison]

Yet his upcoming flights are on SQ, so cant think they are that bad!

[Ash W]

True Michael, but if you look closely he isn't flying on any dangerous 747's.

[Lee G]

One wonders how he is getting to the airport - after all, that's the most dangerous part of his journey!

[Matt_L]

Hes also travelling in 201X

One would think SQ would have the space shuttle by the time numbers go into letters

How so? What a sweeping statement. Have you ever travelled on SQ's premium product on a regular basis?

This is a bit extreme Arthur...most F pax I've spoken to prefer the 744 F product over the new F "bench" and 380 'Suite' - also the last flight I did last October on SQ's 744 which was close to 20 years old would prob be one of the best looking cabins - I couldn't fault it at all. It was factory fresh. In SQ's defence they do work hard to keep both the outside and inside of all their planes looking immaculate.

Just go to SQtalk.com and get a feel for how much the 744 F product is a favourite.
