Any clue why FRA-SIN-FRA on 744 C return is €5,467 while on 77W is €4,146
? Main reason I can think of is flight timing (6/7am on 744 but 5pm and 8pm on 77W). But it's pretty strange (to me) because this means the 77W fare in the new business class is
so much cheaper based solely on timing.
On LHR-SIN-LHR, all combinations of A380 and 744 yield £3,396, except when SQ322 is selected for the SIN-LHR leg then the total prices goes to £3,609. This one make sense from a flight timing reason from LHR-SIN on A380 arrival at 5.45am, but there is no "surcharge" on SIN-LHR 7.45am arrival on A380 (too late for business travellers already?).
