jani 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Don't think I'm a fan of ULH. Long-haul as it is can be pretty tiring already. Maybe because mostly I travel in economy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 ULH is OK for those who can sleep soundly during a flight. For those who can't, it will be very tiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff R. 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 ULH routes seem to be growing with United starting a San Fransisco - Singapore service 1st June 2016 and Emirates a Dubai - Auckland service 1st March 2016. They will use Boeing 787 and 777-200LR equipment respectively. GC distances are SFO - SIN 7339 nm and DXB - AKL 7668 nm. Geoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelson 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2016 Singapore Airlines to fly non-stop Airbus A350 to San Francisco Singapore Airlines will this week announce non-stop flights between Singapore and San Francisco. The new direct route will see the airline's factory-fresh Airbus A350 jet pressed into service on a flight estimated to take some 16 hours, although there's currently no start date for the inaugural non-stop service.

geoff.leo 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2016 Nice to see Singapore Airlines revamping their US West Coast operations. Arrival timings into Singapore are much better than existing ones for SQ15 (SFO-ICN) and SQ11 (LAX-NRT). The revamping of their operations at LAX also mean better utilization of aircraft and crew. They may disappoint a few with the removal of A380 services to LAX. But there's nothing wrong at all with SQ's premium-heavy B77Ws. As for GRU, the writing was always on the wall.
