SQ 6001

[mandja]

My flight sq237 sin-Mel has been slight changed but also has a new flight no. - SQ6001

Any suggestion why the 4 digits?
Also which plane will this be using?

It could be something to do with the new route from MEL to Wellington.

Care to share the date?

May be to do with the changes to CBR-WEL and MEL-WEL

I have recieved a number of emails changing SQ237 (my first class award booking) to 6001 and back again, then an hour later.

Maybe new suites are coming?

6001 sounds like a "dummy" flight for holding bookings whilst changes are confirmed due to timetable changes.

This wouldn't be a used flight number, the only instance I'd suggest a number like this would be if SQ 1 was delayed, such that two SQ 1 would be used on same day, but even then I think SQ use the approach of adding a D to the flight number.

I too noticed this in the morning. I'm now departing 30 mins after my original departure time. I have a long lay over in singapore so it doesn't affect me too much. At worst I just had to readjust where I was seated.

My SQ bookings HBA-xMEL-xSIN-BKK and return through Sydney where it's Virgin Australia metal on the domestic legs the flight numbers are SQ65xx and SQ64xx
Your flight is not diverting to Hobart is it

I believe the SQ codeshare on the Virgin Flights have those codes.
