Yup...
Singapore is doing SIN-EWR-SIN with the A350-900 ULR but that model only has 161 seats and a deactivated fwd cargo hold IAW with the ULR modification.
The "normal" A350-900 isn't fuel limited, it is weight limited. I guess the question is, how much is Airbus charging to certify the A350 for increased gross weights to allow more fuel to be loaded to increase range?
