If you didn’t get a chance to try or see the Singapore A350 while it operated flights to Melbourne last year, you’ll now have another chance.
Airlineroute.com has reported that the airline will bring their A350-900 back to Melbourne in May and June of 2017. The airline did this last year for a few weeks and I even decided to fly on it to try it out, it’s a very comfortable ride.

If you’re wondering, the availability on the flight is pretty great both from Singapore and Melbourne. If you were to book an award I would recommend Krisflyer as they only charge 55,000 miles one-way.
