Singapore Airlines has confirmed Sydney as the first route to debut the brand new cabin products on the A380 planes. The first of the A380 will operate on 18 December 2017 and it will depart Singapore at 20:40PM to arrive into Sydney at 07:40AM on the following day. The new cabin products which will include the highly-anticipated Suites and Business Class products as well as the Premium Economy and Economy Class follows four years of development involving extensive customer feedback.

Having flown the A380 on Suites and in Business Class on multiple occasion, I am personally excited to see what will be unveiled at global launch over 2-4 November 2017 next week. While the new products will only be fitted on the five new A380s that the Airline has on firm order with Airbus, additional destinations for the new products will be revealed in coming months. In addition to Sydney, the Airline’s superjumbos serve Beijing, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Melbourne, Mumbai, New Delhi, New York, Osaka, Paris, Shanghai and Zurich.
Just weeks after the last change, Qantas has reshuffled its Singapore lounge hours again: an earlier First Lounge opening, a 1am Business Lounge close and no more pre-dawn mornings.
