Once again this year Singapore Airlines is flying its largest plane, the Airbus A380, on seasonal services during the winter between Singapore and Osaka. Schedules for these flights were loaded today, but it’s a much shorter period than last winter when the aircraft was used on the route from October right through to March.
In 2019/20 it’s just an 11-day window of operation at this stage, from 27th December 2019 to 6th January 2020 inclusive.
As usual, since the Osaka route doesn’t normally feature a First Class or Suites option, the airline is being very generous with award space in this elusive cabin, currently offering four saver Suites award seats on every day of operation.
2006 Suites
First thing to note is that this isn’t the new 2017 Suites product installed on the latest A380 aircraft. Those are flying daily between Singapore and Sydney, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Zurich. Soon Delhi gets a quick look, before Mumbai becomes a regular route from September then Tokyo from January.
These Osaka flights will get the 2006 Suites but don’t let the age put you off. If you haven’t tried Singapore Airlines in Suites this is still a fantastic product, refreshed with new seat covers and other fittings only a few years ago.
It remains our personal favourite between the two Suites options.
The schedule
Here’s the daily flight you’ll have to pick to experience the A380 with the Suites product on Osaka flights during this short 11-day window.
From 27th December 2019 to 6th January 2020
