Looking for economy saver for wife and daughter to return from Bangkok to Brisbane for last term of school here in October.
First availability on KrisFlyer is Saturday 22 October but is an overnight transit in SIN and does not arrive until Monday morning. Monday 24 October has Saver availability to arrive Tuesday 25 October.
These same flights also available on with Velocity for 35,000 points per person + $96.
So either 61,000 Amex points + AUD100 or 35,000 Velocity points + $96 per person. Out of interest can I transfer Amex to Velocity at 1:1 ratio?
The only advantage I can see booking on SQ is that I can also request Saver on waitlist on earlier days but building house has stalled considerably so not sure girls can come back any earlier.
Qantas no availability until November. So much for saving hard earned points.
