Did SQ remove one A380 from the SYD route?
I tried to book some tickets for next year early April this week and was unable to do so even though the calendar already showed the first 2 weeks of April online for bookings.
Now the booking works but I can now only see one A380 on the SYD-SIN-SYD route with the other one replaced by a 77W. Did this just happen now or has SQ officially announced that they are pulling one of their A380s from the SYD route? Even though it's the same J seating I still much prefer the quieter cabin and the huge bathroom upstairs on the A380

Yeah, I'm booked SQ222 in June and it seems it was replaced by a 77W instead of the A380 I booked it on... No email/announcement at all. Reservation still shows "388" as aircraft type but seat map shows 77W. Annoying..

I am booked on SQ222 at the end of the year. Was looking forward to a suites flight during the day and then a Suites overnight flight to Frankfurt, but now it has changed to a 777-300ER.
They changed my seat booking from 3F to 1C. Why would they change a window to a middle seat?
Is there anyway of telling if this is the New Business and First? Any difference in the seat count on the maps? Or is it just turn up on the day?

I booked an award flight on SQ231 (SIN-SYD) for January which was changed to the 777. Does anyone know if this will at least be the new first class?
Does SQ let you waitlist or fly standby for the earlier flight on the A380? Very disappointed because my wife and I planned our entire vacation around trying the suites class for the first time! Thanks.

SQ Booking online still shows the SQ222 as a 380..
Yet when you go into seelct your seat..
However just randomly looked at my seats and the map has changed
I'm thinking the Switch to 11A is a good one??
Yet as mentioned booking page says a380..
