SQ: Maybe there is money beyond the main cities...

Singapore Air is a funny old beast of an airline, running A380's across the world and keeping its fleet relatively young.

It's also had a link to Manchester for quite some time, that has been recently under strain when the direct service went patchy to 3 days a week, and finally, the service was switched to 5 days a week with a diversion to Munich to pick up more passengers.

Well either it's working better for Singapore Airlines as they head back to a full seven day a week timetable - indicating loads are good at both points, or Singapore Airlines are running this as a cheap tag-on flight to Manchester

The service has been upgraded from a 777-200 to a 777-300ER, providing three-class service, and can be viewed as a small challenge to Emirates who are due to commence A380 service on the 1st September - the day this route goes daily.

Funny that.

As well as a Three-Class service between Manchester-Singapore, the service is sold as a Fifth-Freedom flight in two classes (Business and Economy) between Manchester and Munich.
