Itโs safe to say that few product launches in recent memory have received anywhere near the amount of hype that surrounds SQโs new A380 cabin products. At this point in time, I think itโs safe to say that if the new Suites donโt have an in-cabin spa, Olympic sized swimming pool and miniature African hunting preserve, everyone is going to be very, very disappointed.
In any case, SQ today confirmed that their much awaited new cabin products will debut on the Singapore-Sydney route in December (called it!). From 18 December 2017 onwards, the following routes will have the new cabin products
- SQ221 departing SIN at 2040 and arriving in SYD at 0740
- SQ232 departing SYD at 1215 and arriving in SIN at 1735.
Thatโs all we know for now- no news about future routes yet.
If youโre hoping to snag an award ticket on the inaugural flight, I have bad news. It looks like SQ has gone and blocked all award space, at least on the 18th. Unless youโre willing to shell out for a standard economy award, that is.
- Economy- Saver waitlist, Standard available
- Premium Economy- Saver waitlist only
- Business โ Saver and Standard waitlist
- Suites- Standard waitlist only
Further out, I can only find Standard award space for Suites (although itโs possible thereโs 1 or 2 savers lurking out there somewhere). If youโre willing to splurge 150,000 miles on a one-way ticket, you can find immediate confirmation in Suites on some dates. Iโm not seeing a whole lot of Business award space either, at least not in Saver. That said I only really looked for 5 minutes.
Remember- the new cabin products will be launched on 2 November, where the whoโs who of the aviation world will be in attendance. The Milelion will find a very tall ladder and try and peep through the window.
If I am not wrong the aircraft had done painting job at Airbus Hamburg when we visited the side, but still waiting for engine.
My only Christmas wish is a ML New A380 Suites review. Make it happen, Santa!
amen!
we have very similar christmas wishes. i like you.
actually there is plenty of roundtrip Business Saver availability from Apr18 onward
Indeed youโre right. Will do up a post with award availability soon
