SQ247 MEL-WLG is on x2xx567. SQ248 WLG-MEL operates same days
Yes had a good chat to the SQ crew on a recent flight from MEL-WLG...
Was quite a funny conversation as whilst the crew had been the NZ before (AKL and CHC) they'd never been into WLG (despite operating the WLG flights many times before) and had no idea Wellington was in the North Island of New Zealand. After operating the MEL-WLG flight, they immediately turn around and rest in Melbourne for one day (or sometimes two depending on scheduling) before going back to Singapore. Also unless something unexpected happens... the crew typically does the entire SIN-MEL-WLG-MEL-SIN together.
