Please advice, which gateway in Europe??

We want to fly ARN(Sweden)-SYD via SIN. Since SQ doesnt fly from ARN we have to choose a gateway in Europe.

We have 2 children (5+7years) + baby(1 year)

Which gateway do you think is the least fully booked, I mean most empty seats = Maybe get an extra seat for the baby???

FRA and ZRH have night flights = the kids will sleep, but we are open to any suggestions.....

Advice, please.....

I'd choose ZRH, CDG or the 10pm FRA flight to get the new economy product on the 77W.

Is 77 better than 747?
More comfortable/better pitch??

If your fare allows it, perhaps you can go through LHR and try the A380 !

Actually, I discovered that booking a ticket on SQ´s homepage LHR-SIN-SYD is so much cheaper than via a travel agent in Sweden, I could fly on Eurobonus points ARN-LHR ret.


Its of course risky with 2 separat bokings ARN-LHR ret. and LHR-SYD ret, but so much cheaper.

Advice, please!!


Are the SQ flights up to LHR usually on time or are there frequent delays????
