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

[daft009]

Has anyone been to the MEL SQ F lounge recently? Looking for the menu and wine list?

CE posted it a page or 3 back I'm pretty sure

Would I be right in assuming SIN to HND wait-list J for Feb has no chance of clearing in the next month or so? I have no status. It was at saver level

Near zero. You might have better luck flying into Fukuoka or Osaka or even Narita but not by much.

I am new to the SQ game. Hoping to find 3J Europe (ideally CDG / AMS / MXP) to SYD in 365 days from now, +- 5 days.

1. Is saver doable for this?
2. Could it make sense to waitlist aggressively J savers (Date/departure port) before securing an advantage booking? Or is it hopeless for 3 pax.
3. Final destination is in fact CBR. Is adding segments to an award booking a thing with SQ?

1. You should be able to get AMS for 2 people try Brussels too for the other one and then meet up. 3 would be a stretch in any city
2, Yes but don;t expect them to clear,
3, No

Buy 2 Saver. Then go back and get one advantage.

I was waitlisted for 2 x J savers SIN-WSI for early next year..

I've been checking for seats daily, multiple times a day, and then 4 x savers popped up SIN-WSI so booked them and cancelled my waitlist.

Not the best use of points, but when a paid Y seat is $1700 ONE way it's good value

Has anyone had recent experience for changing a saver award?
I want to change date, origin, destination and cabin.
Currently booked J saver HKG-xSIN-MEL. Want to change to F saver LHR-SIN, different date.
I can't do it online (says I need to call).
The miles used for the original J saver will not be expiring before the new flight is taken - so no issue with expiring miles.

Is it correct that if I do the above, the total change fee is USD $25, independent of miles and taxes difference?

Sorry not recent but i've done similar (biz to biz though) in the last 10 years and was $25 as it was a change not a cancel. Had to do it over the phone from memory. Nearly found trouble as the points table increased so i had to top it up. Had to buy from Velocity and transfer.

I thought you cannot change origin - would need to cancel and rebook (if your points aren't notionally expired). That's what I'd noticed so was locked into a CGK departure - didn't phone up to work around this though

This was my experience last month. Was unable to adjust the origin of a booking, was told to cancel and had to pay the points ‘re-deposit’ fee.
