SQ26/25 won’t be using A380. There will be slight chance it will used but it need 3 airframes. So if demand pick up on other segment, SQ will rather deploy on other routes instead of putting 3 airframe on SQ26/25.

SQ have retired all the 6 A380 with old products. And they are retrofitting the last 3 with new products (Ie 6 suites). So A380 will be in the new products when they are back in service

Got it. I was hoping that if my travel is far enough ahead (i.e. Sept 2022) some of this might be resolved.

Looks like I could book SIN to LHR and find my own way back from LHR on the new product : https://mainlymiles.com/2017j-tracker/

problem is that saver availability in Suite is zero. SQ only release advantage award for suite.

Yea at this point I'm only looking at J - not F/Suites. I'm fine with Saver-J but don't want it on the old product.

No F suites for SQ25/26. Don’t think SQ have enough A380 to deploy on SQ25/26.

Hello!

After beeing upgraded to Business Class on the SQ26 from Frankfurt to New York A380 Version 3:

What do you thing about the 4 seats in row 17. My two daughters would both sit at the windows. My wife and myself in the middle seats. Good seats for looking outside the windows or do you prefer seats in the back (row 92-95)

Thanks!

I've seen a couple of comments that mention it, but I flew Singapore Airlines for the first time recently on the A380 and found the business class seat to be uncomfortably hard. When I sat down it was like sitting on a wooden bench, and I had to get a spare duvet to put down which made it just about bearable to sit and lie on. Is this common for all seats, or just for some - it really felt like all the padding had been flattened and you could feel the metal below? It would certainly put me off flying with them again if all the seats are like this.

I did like the spaciousness of the seat, and it was pretty comfortable apart from this, although I did find having the cubby hole for your feet not being in-line with the seat a little odd.

Hi all,

I booked an (Miles & More) award in business class yesterday with one leg being on SQ26 (FRA-JFK) on the A380. According to the seat map it should be their new Business Class product.

Now I noticed that the rows 11, 91, and 96D&F in the bulkhead are not selectable on their website while they are available on expert flyer.

Is that some glitch on the SQ website/expert flyer or are they reserved for their high tier club members?

Thanks for your feedback!

You are correct. They are reserved for elite (PPS) members until a couple of days before departure. Some are also bassinet seats.

Can elite members from other FFPs select row 11 seats in advance? I'm ticketed on an SQ award but have *A Gold through AC.

SQ Krisflyer Gold don't get early access to those seats so it is unlikely *A Gold would...
