No more A380 to HKG?
I was trying to do some booking SIN-HKG 30April to 1May and I notice there is no more A380 services anymore to HKG.
The 9ish am flight and around midday flight now are no longer using A380. And now only mid day flight has PE class
Is this permanent or temporary?
I have noticed that PVG also lost A380. Where the A380s are being used now adays other than long haul?

SQ860 is A380 for both April 30 and May 1 and there is no change.
Krisflyer bookings don't show flight in sequential time order: Scroll down and the morning flight is shown as the last flight.
Can the mods change the title and include "False Alarm"?

On my browser it's clicking the "SEE MORE" button that does the trick, not scrolling down. That's probably why it seems hidden. Default is that flights are ordered by duration (shortest to longest), not departure time.

And yes now saw SQ863 (HKG-SIN) is on A380 on 2May which I am quite sure that not the case yesterday as only SQ856 offers PE.
Never mind at least good to know that A380 is still flying to HKG

Well, Mumbai also lose A380s from time to time over period of a few weeks. For example, now it is operating with 77WN.
This has come on and off since last year. I believe it's due to refurbishment of A380s for PEY?
So it looks like they rotate the routes.
Only the long hauls are not touched.

I flew the 777 on one of my returns SIN-HKG. It was fine of course, not nearly as "luxurious" (for lack of a better word) as the 380, but to be fair, flights were just under 4 hours, so.....

I'm scheduled on SQ863 in suites for Aug 7th. After seeing this post, I got worried and double checked my reservation. The reservation still show A380 however, if you try to book Y or J tickets online, flight SQ863 doesn't come up. If you search for F, it will. That is weird. I checked +/- 3 days and same result. Why would SQ not allow any booking in Y or J for SQ863?
****Edit******** Never mind the flight is showing, under "show more" weird that it's not on the initial listings while they have flights before and after it.
