Apart from the SYD route, are there any other confirmed routings for the new A380?

Was looking at news about CX and it was mentioned by SCMP that HKG will receive '1 of 5 new A380s early next year'; this is from a Nov 2 article.

Tried to do the ITA matrix ticketing thing and you can't book 7 suites class tickets on Thursdays and Saturdays in May on SQ860 but can book them with 6. This isn't solid proof but it does support that SQ may be planning to do some HKG turnarounds on certain dates in the eatlier part of next year.

i think the general consensus is that LHR is getting the next one. After that is anyone's guess.

Booked end of Feb 2019 on SQ25. Fingers crossed it sees a retrofit within the year!

Any thoughts as to whether the other SYD flights will get the new configuration sooner rather than later? Booked on 222 in December.

Syd to Sin paid Suites we couldnt get a taxi to pick us up so we jumped on an airport shuttle. Bus filled with backpackers whooping it up on their cheapo Jetstar or Tiger Air tickes. Oh the horror. Lol

Last Monday, May 21, I flew from Singapore to Hong Kong in suite 1A. It was the best airplane seat I've ever had, better than Etihad and better by orders of magnitude than the old SQ suites, which my wife and I took from SIN to JFK a few years ago. The flight attendants were attentive and helpful, the food and beverages were really good -- the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee was a particularly nice touch -- and it was good to have access to The Private Room. I had only three regrets: that the flight was so short (3 hrs 20 min); that the only SIN-HKG flight with an A380 leaves at 9:55 a.m., which meant an early-morning departure from my hotel in Singapore and then a long layover in Hong Kong; and that there were no souvenir pajamas. Can hardly wait for the SIN-FRA-JFK route to get this plane.
