Some people here just don't get what's the benefit of Flyertalk and members with insights posting here.
SQ also published themselves so no need to roll eyes at people that don't believe what's not published by the company itself:

"The big unveil is expected in November" (source: SIA's senior vice-president (product and services) Marvin Tan).
I can add: he talks about the launch event, the first commercial flight would be the month after (at the earliest). Attention, insider info!

"... we are working hard all together to make it happen and for Sydney to be the first point in our network to have the new product."

SYD was SQ's first A380 route, 2017 marks the airline's 50th year of flying to Australia, and SQ execs have in the recent past cited Sydney as their desired launch destination, such as:

Say they do start SYD in Oct/Nov. What are the chances the second dest will be JFK? Not going to be too hopeful but it would be nice. Flying JFK-SIN Suites in late December.

The 5 new A380s will be delivered sometime between October and May. Since the first one or two A380s are probably going the the australia route, I'd say your chances are slim unless they happen to receive all 5 planes early in the delivery window.

When they started A380 in 2006/7, they started with SYD, then LON, then NRT.
I reckon this time round it will still be SYD/LON for the first 2 destinations. Don't think the third destination will be NRT or HND though...

Am I correct to say that for a guaranteed new Suites, it's better that I plan my travel to be after May?
