Not an A380 though if you wanted that.

Right it's a 777.
Honestly, I know this is DDF heresy but I don't know the difference!

The A380 has the double bed correct? Besides for that, is there any advantage?

Wow, that's so funny that they switched it today. I just searched that route for the first time today!
Was announced back in July, yesterday was the first scheduled flight.

IINM the only way to book SQ premium cabins is with their own miles.
Depends on route

Double bed is only if its available.

Put simply the 388 has suites with walls and the 77W has a very good first class

I just discovered an IAH-MAN on SQ. I don't see it on the wiki.
Anyway, I have never flown SQ but have wanted to and I have to actually fly that route IAH-MAN.
What's the best way to book an award for that flight?
Is the YQ high on this one?

No clue. I saw it on google flights. I didn't see the price structure.

Saw it here http://m.ynet.co.il/Articles/4921866
Article seems to just mention an ongoing sale. Am I missing something?

That would be big news. Direct Star Alliance flights TLV-Far East!
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I guess it sounded too good to be true. Come to think about it, it would be an extremely unlikely route.

Would be nice if they would work on updating their current schedules to not require a 10+ hour layover between TLV-BKK (and vice versa).

Would also be nice if aireuropa would adjust their TLV schedule to be able to connect to and from flights to/from US. It could become a decent widebody connection to TLV.

Let's have a thread where we make up unlikely 5th freedom routes and then post the next day that we were kidding. I'll start.

Hey, guys! Did you hear about HPN-SIN on QF in an A380?
