Singapore Airlines Plans First Class on Singapore–London Gatwick Route From Oct 2027
Starting 1 October 2027, Singapore Airlines will put a Boeing 777-300ER with four cabin classes on its daily flights to Gatwick, which brings First Class seats to the route.
Singapore Airlines plans to bring First Class to its Singapore Changi to London Gatwick route. The change starts on 1 October 2027. On the daily services SQ312 and SQ309, a Boeing 777-300ER with four cabins will take the place of the Airbus A350-900 Long Haul.
The new plane adds seats in several cabins. Each flight gets four more First Class seats, six more Business Class seats and four more Premium Economy seats, according to Aviation A2Z.
Travel and Tour World explains the timing. SQ312 leaves Singapore on 1 October 2027 and lands in London the next morning. So the first upgraded flight back, SQ309, leaves Gatwick on 2 October.
The extra rotation, SQ314 and SQ313, stays on the three-class A350 Long Haul. Travel and Tour World, quoting MainlyMiles, says the 777-300ER already appears in the schedule up to 29 October 2027 for flights leaving Singapore, and up to 30 October for flights leaving Gatwick.
What it means for travelers
Gatwick travelers will have a First Class choice on this route for the first time in the notes' timeline. The plane change also adds more Business Class and Premium Economy seats. KrisFlyer members get a new way to use their miles.
What to watch next
Because the schedule for winter 2027/28 was not out yet when the reports came out, travelers should not take it for granted that First Class will continue after the dates in late October. Check the airline's official site for fares, miles prices and flight details before you book or plan a trip.
