Singapore Airlines to Resume Non Stop Flights to the US

[KK Lee 5]

ULR is a natural progression just like non-stop from KUL to LHR on 744 preciously.

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

[flee 5]

ULH is OK for those who can sleep soundly during a flight. For those who can't, it will be very tiring.

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.

Probably a direct result of the low oil prices and/or new, high fuel efficiency aircraft.

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.

Goodbye 3am arrivals into SIN!

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.

The throne is back to SIA.

[BC Tam 2]

Mind boggling, 19 hours

Will it be business class only as per SQ's previous ULR offering ?

Or will they be dispensing special survival kits to Y pax (should they dare to undertake the mission) ?!

[Waiping 12]

Biz and Premium economy

[Alif A. F. 0]

On previous non-stop flight on A345 ULR, a dedicated space was even provided in case pax could not make it (i.e. dead).

SIA will operate the A350ULR with business class and Premium economy with a total seating of 161 only.

Nonstop to LAX from 2 Nov 2018

 

https://www.ausbt.com.au/singapore-airlines-launches-non-stop-flights-to-los-angeles

 

- 3x weekly until 9 Nov

- Daily from 9 Nov

- 10x weekly (!) from 7 Dec

 

Meanwhile, SFO gets an additional 3 weekly nonstop with the A359ULR.

 

 

So.. any volunteers to talk about how MH should expand its network and resume US flights? Maybe with a fleet and CASK analysis?

After this war perhaps.
