Yes, I am going to start looking to book shortly. It’s taken all up 7 weeks since the flights were cancelled.

Last update (I hope). After my last email I received receipts for refund of taxes and checked my account into which 11k miles had been re-deposited. I had pretty much resigned myself to giving up when this morning I checked my account and found all 600k + miles reinstated! Thanks for all the...

No status. I didn't know about the offer. Sadly though I just spent over $6500 on flights with SIA a few weeks ago thinking they had come through as promised. Ouch.

Thanks Jellybelly. I will keep on keeping on!

Well in a disturbing turn of events, after receiving an email in September advising my points would be reinstated in 6-8 weeks, I received a call on Tuesday again asking for credit card to charge US75 per ticket for points to be refunded. Money was duly debited from my card and receipts emailed...

Update: I just received a phone call from SIA apologising for the miscommunication and taking my payment for cancellation fees and redeposit of 606000 miles 😊

Yes it’s very disappointing. I’m going to try and hold them to the first confirmation they gave on the email. all the best jellybelly. Looks like I’m in for the long haul as well. Just not on a plane possibly 😳

After emailing them back and forth I received an email saying I would pay $75 US per ticket to redeposit my miles. Imagine how relieved I was until just now I received another email informing me they could not actually refund the miles and I would lose the lot.

Hi all, I have been reading above conversations. I am in a situation where I just tried to cancel award ticks 606,000 points online for September and was met with confusing "your points expired" etc but underneath is said no points will expire in 2022. Can anyone advise whether I should just...

Thanks. The woman on the call centre at Insure and Go said it was 3. I've since surmised the school's advice is a typo and should've said 4 not 2. I am waiting on further clarification. About to look at TID and World Nomad as I think they are both fine for a 4 if you have taken insurance before...

Thanks Guvner. I will look into World Nomads.

Hi, I hope someone can advise me here. My 15 year old son will be going to France and Italy in September this year on a school excursion. I have been advised by the school to take out a policy with an insurer that will cover cancellation costs once DFAT advice level gets to 2. I have called...

Yes I got an invite in Canberra. Won't be going though, I suspect free drinks and nibbles to participate in a publicity fest for them.

I can only speak for the F experience on SQ. The Private Room is ok. A bit dark and needs an upgrade of decor and furniture. The food, however, is great. The laksa is excellent. Service is great too. On one (old) suites trip I chose 1A but was politely advised when I boarded that 3A would be...

Thanks Tizey, Just booked the one way award for 152,500 F MEL-LAX and J to GUA. I don’t anticipate any issues booking the return flights when they open up. I’m new to this but will now pm you for details re compensation for your help. I truly wouldn’t have come up with this by myself.
