tip for award searching

[Jeffrey O'Neill]

Might be a known trick but I find using the SQ app for award searching quite handy as it has a +/- 3 day option so means you can see a weeks worth of awards - at least see which day has the cheapest points cost.

No idea why SQ don't add this feature to their standard site. A monthly view like on QF would be awesome.

yep - the app also seems to offer longer layovers than on the normal website - have never booked a redemption through the app so not sure if they stick or not but definitely look good if don't want to pony up the $100 for a stopover.

When you say $100 for stopover I'm assuming that's for a revenue ticket rather than reward flight? Saver awards don't see to allow stopovers like they used to

Hopefully cruiser will stick his head into this thread. I think he got a KF staff member to confirm you can call up and get a stopover on a saver award fare for US100. Think its in the tips and tales thread.

Possibly on a return. Don't think it's possible on a one way saver award

I only book one way savers as a general rule, and did this a number of years ago. Fee I am pretty sure back then was only $30 each.

I just asked the operator at the time was there anyway to do it, and she offered that straight away.

Yeah I used to be able to do it as well a number of years ago, but my understanding is it's technically not allowed, but by the sounds of it people are getting one added, so might have to give it a try.
