    Looking for a great deal for return flights to Toronto.

    Another option is Jetstar to Hawaii then air canada/westjet or others to toronto just a quick look at your dates, leaving the 1st come back the 27th, is $1600. You can get flights for $1600 on etihad but it has a 50hr travel time on the way over, then the price jumps to about 2k. I doubt you...

    MEL-LAX - experiences connecting through BNE

    Award Seats vs. Upgrade with Points

    The upgrades come out of the same pool as the award flights, so that is the best way to check. I just had a quick look any there is nothing available from the 25th-30th of sept. However they may release some closer to the date. Otherwise try calling the call center and stating u want to buy a...

    Economy to Business Upgrage

    Saver is the cheapest, as best option for the upgrade, but obviously they will be taken first. You need to log in to the SQ website and click the upgrade button under the my booking section to see what is available. (I would never used the full award) If saver is not available then they may...

    Online booking tools and self-funded upgrades

    Are you able to just book the fare you want, and have the company just credit you the price of a Y fare? would be the easiest, but not always possible if they have to pay direct. Otherwise your best best would be a TA who could do split payment? If you book a Y fare then go to upgrade after the...

    I booked with SQ, but had issues where I couldn't select my seat anyway. I just logged on when online check-in opened and was always able to get a window seat (my pref) on full loaded flights. But obviously not always going to happen

    Bonus lounge access overseas

    Not sure the best place to post for this one but I thought I would let people know so you can try your luck. Currently gold for VA, was flying Singapore airlines from Germany. On checkin I asked about lounge access (was pretty sure there was no SQ lounge so therefore no access). The checkin...

    BNE-MEL-AUH Time between Flight

    generally yes, most hotels want credit cards for incidentals etc. Also some have issued when its only underage people staying. I would email the hotel and check, but avoid mentioning your names or booking reference just incase you don't like the answer but decide to book still. I doubt most will...

    Now flying 80-90 times per year, which rewards schemes if any should i use?

    As what most people have said I would look to join VA. I have never flown syd-ool or VV myself, but some of the sales fares VA have decent. If you chase status, 100% of your flights don't have to be VA. Even if you just make gold, you have good benefits, and that is only 50 flights (discount...
