First A380 Flight on October 25-26

Delivery Date Set for October 15

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Airbus and Singapore Airlines have agreed to a delivery timetable for the first A380 aircraft.

The aircraft is planned for handover by Airbus to Singapore Airlines on Monday, October 15, at a ceremony in Toulouse, France.

It will be configured with 471 seats in three classes: Economy, Business and the new Singapore Airlines Suites: a class beyond First.

Within a few days of delivery, the aircraft will fly to Singapore's Changi Airport: the world's first A380 home airport. There will be a short period set aside for crew and ground staff familiarization.

World aviation history will be made when the Singapore Airlines A380 makes its First Flight -- SQ380 -- to Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport on Thursday, October 25, and return to Singapore on Friday, October 26.

Singapore Airlines Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chew Choon Seng, said the delivery would mark the beginning of a new chapter for the aviation industry.

"Everyone at Singapore Airlines is keenly anticipating the delivery of this new plane, and our people are working hard on final preparation for its entry into service. The first flight promises to be one of the most exciting occasions in aviation history.

"We are overwhelmed by the support of the community -- from all over the world -- for the charity auction. And I would like to thank the many partners and service providers that have followed the lead of our fuel supplier, ExxonMobil, and eBay, in donating their services for the First Flight's charitable causes.

"While occasions like this are few and far between, we hope this enthusiasm generates support for very worthwhile causes," Mr. Chew said.

Seats across all three classes will be auctioned on the global online marketplace, eBay. There will be plenty of seats put to auction, allowing many opportunities for travelers keen to be part of history to join the First Flight experience.

For the new Singapore Airlines Suites, the A380's First Flight will be the first ever occasion to fly on what will be a product that totally redefines luxury in the sky.

Entry into scheduled service will commence on the Sydney route soon after the First Flight. A further announcement will be made on this in due course.

Charity Auction Starts 27 August

The auction of seats on the First Flight will commence on Monday, August 27, 2007. Seats in all three classes will be sold progressively, across both legs of the flight. Bids will be staggered to finish at various times over a period of just over two weeks, with the auction cycle being completed on September 10, 2007.

The auction will be for single, double and multiple seats in each class.

All seats will be sold on a one-way basis, so people wanting fly on both legs of the First Flight will need to bid twice.

    To participate in the auction, a bidder will need the following:
       -- An eBay user ID... it's free and easy to get
       -- The names and passport numbers of those traveling
       -- For bids on packages in the premium classes (Business & Suites), or
          bids over USD1,000 in Economy Class, pre-qualification will be
          required.  This ensures bids are not artificially inflated, and
          gives bidders confidence they are bidding only against genuine and
          pre-qualified bidders

Prequalification is initiated online. Singapore Airlines' global auction management agency, Auctionwire, has developed numerous ways for bidders to pre-qualify and lodge security deposits for bids requiring pre-qualification.

All information on packages available, bid prequalification and how to get an eBay user ID is available on the Singapore Airlines website, singaporeair.com/a380 . A summary is attached to this news release.

    100% of the proceeds of the auction will be donated to charities. They
are:
       -- One-third to Singapore's Community Chest
       -- One-third split between the Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick,
          and The Children's Hospital at Westmead, both in Sydney
       -- One-third to Medecins Sans Frontieres, also known as Doctors Without
          Borders.

我觉得马来西亚不会有几个人去坐的啦。
除非真的是很有钱， 也很有心机去标。

因为刚刚上了Ebay 看看。
价钱真的是有点可怕。
一等舱 USD$380 起标，
商业舱 USD$38 起标，
经济舱 USD$3.80 起标

当然， 有分几个方式 1个坐位， 两个坐位， 或者10个坐位。
虽然同等价出售， 但是在短短的几天里面有些就已经上到10多K。
价钱蛮吓人的。
幸运的话， 应该可以拿到好价钱。。哈哈

Singapore Airlines will begin scheduled services with the new Airbus A380 between Singapore and Sydney on Sunday 28 October 2007.

The A380 will operate a daily return flight, replacing one of the three Boeing 747-400 services on the route. The aircraft will operate SQ221, departing Singapore in the evening and arriving into Sydney in the early morning, and return as SQ220, departing Sydney in the morning and arriving into Singapore in the early afternoon.Flight       
Depart                                                Arrive       
SQ221        Singapore        2030        Sydney            0700
SQ220        Sydney            0850        Singapore        1345




The 471-seat aircraft is configured in three classes: 12 Singapore Airlines Suites (on the main deck), 60 Business Class (on the upper deck) and 399 Economy Class seats (on both decks).

Singapore Airlines is delighted to begin its operations using the new A380 to Sydney, and travellers on the route can look forward to the world’s best inflight products, combined with the legendary Singapore Airlines service.

The Business and Economy Class cabin products are modelled on those launched in late 2006 and currently featuring on the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, to global acclaim. The new Singapore Airlines Suites will be unveiled at the delivery of the A380 in October, and will feature the ultimate inflight luxury, in a class beyond First.

编号SQ221 通常在早上的0555 就会降落YSSY。
而编号SQ220 就在0805 从YSSY 起飞， 奇怪， 这个的时间为什么不一样的?

我之前飞SQ221 和SQ220 都是在这个时间出发和降落的。
