The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

[Mr H]

Basically says maybe yes, maybe no....

In this context, “maybe yes” means “definitely yes but we can’t prove it”. If it was “no” then SQ would have proven it.

Hi All,
I'm in the waitlist queue for some BNE/SIN/BKK J flights in March. Getting nervous. Really want to lock them in.
There is a TG availability on the KF website out of other cities. Looking at doing that.
My question is, if I book the TQ flights and the waitlist comes in, can I cancel the TQ booking and get my points back? Is there any fees for this?
I have no KF status.
Cheers.

Absolutely lock in the seats that are available while you can.

There is a USD75 per person fee to cancel KrisFlyer bookings. It might still be worth it in terms of the reduced carrier charges and convenience -- but that's your decision.

Your waitlisted booking will not clear. It’s many years since waitlists cleared.

I wouldn’t say “never” per se, but highly unlikely is more like it.

The key thing you have to remember is PPS are the top of the food chain at SQ, not Golds, so if that’s not you then the odds go down significantly. Never the less, a few months back, I waitlisted for fun for an SQ306 Saver in J in late July for fun to try and have a crack at getting to try the new A350LH biz seat and go visit London at the same time of course.

A few weeks ago my waitlist cleared, got the email. Had to leave it though as my annual leave request was rejected (too much of the team already on annual leave I guess for their own summer euro trips then I think!).
