UPDATED 14 May 2018 to reflect new Christchurch service

One of the most popular Traveling For Miles posts of the past 18 months was a post I wrote (and occasionally updated) detailing the Singapore Airlines A350 routes as the airline rolled them out with each new aircraft delivery.

I have to admit to having allowed that post to go stale but, as people still seem to be visiting it in significant numbers, I thought I’d revive the post and bring it completely up to date (and hopefully keep it that way).

So here we have it….

The Definitive Guide To The Singapore Airlines A350 Routes

Note: Airlines swap timings between winter and summer schedules so check carefully before committing to any bookings.

In alphabetical order:

Amsterdam

Singapore Airlines used its Amsterdam route to launch its new Airbus A350 on to the international long-haul scene at the beginning of May 2016 and the route is still going strong.

SQ324 SIN 23:55 – 07:15+1 day AMS (Daily A350 service)
SQ323 AMS 11:15 – 05:55+1 day SIN (Daily A350 service)

Barcelona

Singapore Airlines used its A350 to launch a twice-weekly non-stop service between Singapore and Barcelona in July 2017. Since then the frequency of the A350 service to Barcelona has been raised to 5x/week as Singapore Airlines flys its A350 to Milan and then on to Barcelona on the same flight number

SQ378 SIN 23:45 – 08:30+1 day BCN (Tue, Wed & Sat) **service via Milan**
SQ388 SIN 23:45 – 06:35+1 day BCN (Thu & Sun)

Brisbane

Singapore Airlines kicks off its A350 flights to Brisbane from 16 October 2017 but the schedule doesn’t appear to settle down until 16 January 2018 by which time the airline will operate 3 daily A350 flights between Singapore and the Gold Coast:

SQ255 SIN 00:45 – 10:45 BNE (Daily)
SQ245 SIN 09:45 – 19:45 BNE (Daily)
SQ235 SIN 21:15 – 07:15+1 day BNE (Daily)

Cape Town (via Johannesburg)

Cape Town was added to the Singapore Airlines A350 route network in October 2016…but not as a non-stop route. Singapore Airlines has been flying to Cape Town via Johannesburg on a daily basis and 4 of the 7 flights have offered a full A350 service while on the remaining 3 flights the Johannesburg – Cape Town sector has been operated by an A320 or a A340.

Not for much longer.

From 25 March 2018 Singapore Airlines is eliminating the narrow-body aircraft on this route and changing the schedule to:

SQ478 SIN 01:25 – 06:10JNB 07:10 – 09:25 CPT (Tue, Wed, Fri & Sun)
SQ478 SIN 02:00 – 06:35JNB 07:35 – 09:45 CPT (Mon, Thu & Sat)

SQ479 CPT 10:40 – 12:40 JNB 13:45 – 06:10+1 day SIN (Tue, Wed, Fri & Sun)
SQ479 CPT 11:00 – 12:55 JNB 13:55 – 06:10+1 day SIN (Mon, Thu & Sat)

Christchurch

As of January 2019 Singapore Airlines will fly its Airbus A350 between Singapore and Christchurch replacing the Boeing 777-200ER that currently flys one of the flights on this route.

Here’s what the schedule will look like:

SQ297 SIN 19:50 – 10:40+1 day CHC (Daily A350 service)
SQ295 SIN 22:00 – 15:20+1 day CHC (Mon, Wed & Sat seasonal 777 service)

Düsseldorf

Singapore Airlines added its A350 to the Düsseldorf route back in July 2016 (the airline’s 3rd A350 route). Since then the A350 has flown the route 3x per week on the following schedule (more or less):

SQ338 SIN 23:55 – 06:20+ 1 day DUS (Mon, Thur, Sat)
SQ337 DUS 11:00 – 06:15 SIN +1 day (Sun, Tue, Fri)

Note: the schedule timings change slightly from season to season

This route will increase to 4x/week from 27 March 2018 with the addition of another flight on Tuesdays (outbound) and Wednesdays (inbound).

Hong Kong

Back in 2016, when the first Singapore Airlines A350 started flying to Hong Kong, the aircraft could be found on this route up to four times a week but, since then, the A350s have been assigned new routes and now Hing Kong just has one daily A350 flight from Singapore:

SQ856 SIN 09:55 – 13:55 HKG (Daily)
SQ861 HKG 15:45 – 19:45 SIN (Daily)

Houston

Singapore Airlines used to operate a route to Houston via Moscow but in January 2017 the airline added an A350 to the route and switched the connection to Manchester in the UK.

As things stand the schedule is as follows:

SQ52 SIN 02:05 – 14:20 IAH (Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat & Sun) **1 hr 30 min layover in Manchester**
SQ51 IAH 18:40 – 07:55+2 days SIN (Mon, Wed, Thu, Sat & Sun ) **1 hr 30 min layover in Manchester**

Kuala Lumpur

On 8 March 2016 Kuala Lumpur was the launch route for the Singapore Airlines A350 and was used for numerous crew orientation flights. Since then the frequency of the service has decreased significantly (this isn’t really a route the A350 was designed to operate) but Singapore Airlines still flys its A350 to Kuala Lumpur daily:

SQ118 SIN 18:40 – 19:40 KUL (Daily)
SQ119 KUL 22:30 – 21:30 SIN (Daily)

Moscow

Singapore Airlines first scheduled A350 service to Moscow Domodedovo from 15 December 2016. Initially there were only 2 Airbus A350 flights available but, since the airline took delivery of more aircraft, this has increased to 5.

SQ422 SIN 07:45 – 10:35 BOM (Daily)
SQ421 BOM 11:50 – 19:50+1 day SIN (Daily)

San Francisco

At approximately 8,450 miles in length this is the longest route on which Singapore Airlines operates its A350 aircraft but this record will be shattered when the airline takes delivery of the ultra long-haul variant of the A350 and commences flights to New York – that’s going to be some flight!

The airline operates the A350 on this route daily on the following schedule:

SQ32 SIN 09:20 – 07:50 SFO (Daily)
SQ31 SFO 09:30 – 19:05+1 day SIN (Daily)

Stockholm

The Singapore Airlines A350 route to Stockholm actually flys via Moscow (see above) so there is no non-stop service right now. However, with a short-ish layover in the Russian capital this is still a useful route for the airline to operate.

Currently this is what the schedule looks like:

SQ362 SIN 00:15 – 06:20 DME 07:15 – 07:45 ARN (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri & Sat)
SQ361 ARN 09:10 – 13:30 DME 14:40 – 06:15+1 day SIN (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri & Sat)

Tokyo Haneda

Since 13 December 2016 Singapore Airlines has been operating its A350 aircraft on the Singapore – Tokyo Haneda route. Initially the aircraft operated just 5 flights per week but with new aircraft coming online this had now been increased to a daily service.

SQ632 SIN 08:05 – 15:35 HND (Daily)
SQ633 HND 16:40 – 23:20 SIN (Daily)

  1. You have a typo in your HOUSTON routing — you show the flights as SIN-MAN / MAN-SIN, rather than to Houston.
