Last month, Singapore Airlines confirmed its flight schedules for the northern winter season from late October 2025 through to late March 2026, including days of operation and aircraft type allocation, and we’re now taking the opportunity update to our longstanding guide to the carrier’s First Class and Suites cabin products, by route and individual flight number.

While SIA operates one of five different Business Class seat types on every single route across its network, it’s not the same story for the carrier’s most prestigious First Class cabins, which were even completely withdrawn for a year between June 2020 and June 2021, due to aircraft groundings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since then First Class and Suites have happily made a progressive return to key cities on the Singapore Airlines network, with 18 destinations now seeing regular operation with these sought-after products.

Only two seat types remain

Before COVID-19 there were four different First Class and Suites cabin products still in service with Singapore Airlines, depending on the specific aircraft you were travelling on.

However, the carrier confirmed to us back in November 2020 that all 12 of its Airbus A380s returning to the fleet would feature the latest Suites refit prior to re-entry to service, and with the final one back in the skies for the last couple of years, it means we have already seen the end of the pioneering 2007 Suites from the Singapore Airlines network.

That was bittersweet, as it was the product we personally loved the most.

Additionally, premature retirement of the Boeing 777-300 (non-ER) aircraft means we said farewell to the 2006 First Class cabin in October 2020.

That leaves only one First Class and one Suites product in use across the fleet in 2025, as shown below.

An all-new First Class product will be introduced on the airline’s Airbus A350 ULR aircraft from 2027, the same one that will also adorn long-delayed Boeing 777-9 aircraft, probably also from 2027, at least seven years later than originally planned.

Changes for the winter 2025 / 26 season

Before we dive into the route and flight number tables for First Class and Suites products on the network, it’s worth pointing out that between now and the end of March 2026 Singapore Airlines is tweaking the distribution of these cabins, most notably as follows:

• Auckland sees the regular northern winter season return for its First Class option this year, coinciding with the peak summer tourism season in New Zealand, with the return of the Boeing 777-300ER including 2013 F seats on daily SQ285/286 flights from late October 2025. These then upgrade to the Airbus A380 with the newer 2017 Suites from mid-January 2026.
• Dubai retains First Class on a year-round basis, with the Boeing 777-300ER remaining on daily SQ494/495 flights, instead of the Airbus A350 Medium Haul originally proposed for this winter season.
• Frankfurt loses the Airbus A380 from mid-January 2026 through to the end of the winter season, with SQ326/325 flights downgrading to the Boeing 777-300ER. The route will therefore see twice daily operation with 2013 F seats, as SQ26/25 service continues alongside.
• Jakarta will see a doubling of First Class seats from the end of October 2025, with two additional daily flights (SQ962/963 and SQ968/951) featuring the 2013 F seats through to late March 2026, instead of the current two flights each day.
• Shanghai will see one of its two daily Boeing 777-300ER flights (SQ830/833) upgrade to the Airbus A380 between February and late March 2026, offering the 2017 Suites cabin product instead of the 2013 First Class seats.
• Sydney will have a fourth daily flight fitted with First Class seats for most of the month of February 2026, in the form of Boeing 777-300ER operation on SQ241/242, operating in addition to two Airbus A380 flights and another 777 service.

First Class and Suites cabins by route and flight number

We’ve updated our seat type list through to the end of the IATA northern winter 2025/26 season (from now until 28th March 2026) to help you avoid the guesswork by offering an A-Z destination list, flight number by flight number, for each of these two seat types.

If you’re flying First Class or Suites with Singapore Airlines on a flight sector not originating or ending in Singapore, here are the seat types used on those services.

First Class lounges

In May 2022, Singapore Airlines unveiled its latest SilverKris First Class Lounge and The Private Room at Changi Airport T3.

That offers a great experience for those flying in the carrier’s most premium cabins from home base.

The post-COVID First Class experience

Back in September 2021 we travelled in First Class on the inaugural VTL flight from Frankfurt to Singapore, and we were happy to report that the experience hasn’t lost its shine, despite a few COVID restrictions still being in place at the time.

See our comprehensive review for a full rundown on our flight.

Pre-COVID reviews

In mid-2018 we concluded our round-the-world trip in First Class on SQ1 from San Francisco to Singapore via Hong Kong in the 2013 F cabin, and had the chance to thoroughly review it including both a long-haul and short-haul experience across the two stages of the journey.

If you haven’t tried the product, while we can’t recommend parting with Advantage award rates, we don’t think you’d be disappointed.

Meanwhile here’s our review of the Suites cabin (including the double bed), which was the first flight on our 2018 round-the-world trip from Singapore to Hong Kong.

What about Business Class?

In case you missed it, we have an equivalent (and continually updated) guide showing where SIA’s Business Class seat types are flying around the network, recently updated through to March 2026.

  Business Class Seat Types by Route

Since all Singapore Airlines aircraft have Business Class (it’s the only cabin that’s fleet-wide), this guide also has the benefit of showing you the aircraft types operating on all SIA services during this period.
