I am sure they have done their research, but I do wonder! For instance total pax numbers between Wellington and Sydney averages 380 a day one way, while Wellington Melbourne is 315, and they are adding 285 seats to the same destination???

Not exactly... they're adding 285 seats to more than two destinations. CBR, SIN and a decent chunk of the SQ network.

As an aside, are the A330s getting Premium Economy???

I was looking at the tag flight more than the Singapore flight, for the simple reason I don't think it makes much sense given the trains Tasman traffic numbers. Onward traffic will be minimal as MH found, albeit to AKL.

Although you would have to say, SQ have always had a lot more onward options than MH ever had, not withstanding current shenanigans such as the baggage blues to Europe... MH certainly may have some issues right now. I regard SQ as a serious premium product, and I think many average punters out there do as well.

I was told "not yet" but I didn't speak to anybody who would know for sure. My fingers are crossed, but I'm not hopeful. Their A330 business product from Adelaide to Singapore isn't anything special and to be honest it's not worth $400 per hour.
