Passengers flying on Singapore Airlines to and from Taipei are set to get a product upgrade from 10th October 2019, as the second of two daily flights between Singapore and the Taiwanese capital switches across to Boeing 787-10 operation, meaning both daily flights on the route will feature the airline’s latest regional seats.
The schedule
While the morning flight on the Taipei route has been flown using the Boeing 787-10 since 1st January this year, the afternoon / evening service is still currently flown with an older A330-300.
