Surprised they don't just scrap DME and focus on more important destinations. Hamburg, perhaps? Or is that too close to CPH? Berlin would ultimately be right on the money but isn't the new airport (delayed until when...?) the issue here?

I think the best choice out of ARN would be to fly AY via HEL. Not only is Helsinki closer than Copenhagen, but AY services something like 12+ destinations across Asia. Plus it's a convenient airport, no security check even (when arriving from "safe" airports) so no more "taking out the laptop, etc." when transferring.

As for DME, I think SQ cannot just ignore a country of 200 mln people. Despite struggling economy and bad currency, middle class Russians would still choose SQ when they travel on holidays to Phuket, Malaysia or Bali, either in J or Y.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could advice me on catering on this flight? I have booked Arn-Sin in Business class and it says it will be dinner and breakfast. I am assuming dinner will be after the stop in Dme. Does anyone know what sort of catering there will be on the short hop from Arn to Dme?
Thanks
Thanks

SQ starting ARN-SIN
Hadn't seen this on here before and only just stumbled across it on the ARN website.

I was just getting used to the ARN-HKG-SIN travel but I guess SQ is feeling the competition? This route is GREATLY appreciated and I'm really looking forward to being back on SQ again. They will operate it on their A350s.
EDIT: Nevermind, I should have read better before getting excited. Apparently the flight has a layover in Moscow so this one is out of the question.

From May 30th 2017, Singapore Airlines will start operating their route between Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Changi Airport in Singapore. It will then be the fastest route to Singapore from Stockholm. The route will operate with five departures a week.

C fares on SQ are quite nice. For e.g. ARN - SIN it starts now at around 17000kr or ARN - AKL at less than 25000kr. And at EB all C booking classes with SQ give 200%. So ARN - AKL gives you almost EBG with over 44000 points.

SQ does not operate dreamliners, it is operated with their new A350s. The Moscow stop is bad though, but at least it will be very competitive pricing for SQ product. I still think this is better than SK day-time return from HKG wasting a whole day and in many cases requiring a hotel at HKG if connecting.

But I do recall the seats being pretty spacious though (width and pitch wise)
