SQ 25 JFK to FRA - likely aircraft in 2022?
I'm debating if I want to do first vs business to FRA next year. The SingaporeAir website is claiming A380-800 in the booking portal, but is there any informed opinion out there on what will be flying this route (maybe an upgrade to the new suite? A downgrade to the 777?)?

Starting Oct 31, SQ25 JFK-FRA-SIN is currently showing (on ExpertFlyer) as the new Suites. I think the existing SQ26, SIN-FRA-JFK, will only run FRA-JFK (according to SQ website) and SQ26 SIN-FRA will be no more, only SQ326 on the 777. This would make sense for operational rotation of the A380's needed for JFK-FRA-SIN/FRA-JFK.
BTW, there's plenty of SQ26 FRA-JFK saver award space near the schedule-open date.

man, those got snatched up quick, as did the Nov 7 I saw they released yesterday. When you said "just released" did you mean you cancelled a trip you had and therefor they just got released, or did you just notice it opened up?

I'm curious about this too. SQ's schedule shows the 12F (v1/v2) A380 taking over with the start of the Summer IATA season in late March, but per Mainlymiles, all A380s remaining in the fleet should have the new v3 cabins with only 6 first class suites. (As 54austin mentioned, the 6F seat map is showing for the 2022 Winter IATA season beginning in late October.) Whether SQ decides to fly a 77W or A380 for the Summer season, they're selling too many F seats.

I would assume they go for 77W, but then not sure how many 77W they need on other routes....

as far as i can see they have zeroed all F seats on SQ25/26. So guess they have not decided yet on 77W and A359 for summer schedule and hence just have not updated the aircraft in the system - so to be on safe side they just dont allow F bookings on those flights.

Just in case it ends up staying as the new suite, I will have a lap infant and I see one side has the bassinet. Is there any benefit to the bassinet side with a baby? She's never actually used the bassinet on a plane before, preferring to interact with us.
And before people complain about bringing a baby in first, this baby has been on 12 flights so far and never cried or otherwise disturbed anybody once (in fact more than once on a night flight on deplaning the people sitting in the seats in front of us have commented they never even realized a baby was on the plane).

Meaning I cancelled the trip and I saw they went back into Saver inventory. Sorry I was unclear!
