Flying on the Singapore Airlines A380 Super Jumbo
The inaugural flight of the Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 ‘Super Jumbo’ will depart for Sydney, Australia from Singapore at 0800 on October 25th. The SYD-SIN return leg leaves at 1600 on October 26th.
Most of the seats have now been sold via an ebay auction which has raised US $1.3 million for charity (a few seats still remain open at time of writing). One bidder paid over US$100,000 for a Suite package while the cheapest economy seat went for only US$560.
However if you missed out on the auction, you will soon be able to experience the A380 on SIA’s Singapore - Sydney scheduled service. The aircraft will start flying on the route (daily return) from Sunday October 28th.

Flight SQ221 SIN - SYD (departs 2030, arrives 0700 +1)
Flight SQ220 SYD - SIN (departs 0850, arrives 1345)
There will be 471 seats on board the A380 aircraft: 399 economy class seats, 60 business class seats on the upper deck and 12 first class suites.
