urgh! More 772 for Australia! I had a flight on SQ245 in J last week and I want to A330 back! Those aircraft are so tatty and the IFE is a joke.

Canberra service has moved. SIN-CBR departs an hour later, CBR-SIN an hour earlier. So CBR-LHR round trip gets two hours longer. Thanks, SQ.

Yes,I received an email from them rescheduling my return flight from SIN,leaving fifty five mins earlier.While there is no change to the 75min transit time at Canberra,SIA has reduced the aircrafts ground time in Wellington by a couple of hours,which means the return leg takes off at an earlier time.The arrival in Singapore is brought forward by 65min to 0435 local time.It has happened apparently to allow more pax from the airlines Asian network to connect onto the CBR flight & then onto Wellington.Cheers

4 flights a day to BNE?

Yes, SYD or MEL are large SQ destinations, but BNE? I'm very impressed if BNE can support 4 daily SQ flights. I would have expected 1, max 2.

The flights have good loads as well. This is one of my regular routes and its mostly full if not full every time. Only once have I had an empty seat next to me.

The choice of international destinations out of BNE is limited so the BNE flights are popular with feeders into the greater SQ network.

BNE (and Queensland) also has a large population of Europeans, in particular the British (about 70% are British or have British relatives), many of them are talking onward flights into Europe.
