Aircraft change to A380 are not loaded on schedules from 31 October, 2010 as yet. Will this restore the A380 on SQ222 and will inbound be SQ231?

So currently from SYD

2 x 77W
1 x 772/3 Older model/interior
1 x A380

Going to
1 x 77W
1 x 772/3 Older model/interior
2 x A380

They need to get rid of the 772/773 on the MEL/SYD flights

Currently MEL has
1 x 77W
1 x A380
1 x 773 -Refurbished interior - But only "Medium Haul" business class

Hopefully MEL gets another A380 with another A380's before the end of the year and another 2 in the 1st Qtr of 2011.

MEL won't get another A380 for a while.

Hopefully MEL gets A330,s to replace one of the 777 flights,wishful thinking

Just not a fan of the "Regional business class product" when you have the long haul product on the other flights.

Needs to be a consistent product offering! But then again I am just an "armchair expert"

I just booked the SQ222 in First on KrisFlyer points 29JAN while still listed as 77W...looking forward to trying out Suites. But I got a feeling SQ will try and put me on another flight when they use their standard "no redemptions in Suites"...

Has this started early - or was the SQ A380 that departed this morning at 08.25 a special - I thought the SQ A380 usually departed later in the day. Incidentally does anyone know hich one it was?

thanks

SQ221 returns to SIN as SQ220 instead of SQ222. It has been doing this since late March 2010.
