    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    You can always just use the dedicated First check in terminal/lounge after a day of transit in SIN (not a stop over), even if your onward flight is in J (assuming you came in on F). No need to have any luggage with you. It's really handy if you want to head straight to TPR since it's only less...

    No I don't believe they will accept luggage store. There is a Left luggage room at the other end of the terminal, but there are restrictions, i.e. you technically can't leave laptops and other randoms stuff. Sometimes they will fully check bags and compartments, sometimes they just want to...

    Before the baby ninja came along, we use to get 2 teddys, mostly requested (in J and F). Nowadays when we have baby ninja fly with us, we get given 1 teddy without request. Might have to ask next time for the opposite sex teddy

    Can I add the $100 stopover on this itinerary?

    If I'm reading you correctly, you're booking BNE-HND return via SIN on Sq with stopover in SIN? If you book return trip you get free stopover. Might be easier to book BNE-HND return and book a separate ticket for SIN-BKK return during your stopover in SIN. No need to pay $100. So it'll look like...

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    Missed a lot of this thread so skimmed the last bit of pages, but am I correct in saying that some Plat/Cent cardholders have been rejected the double points offer upon request? I've been offered verbally after requesting and in the online chat, after requesting. I have kept a copy of the chat...

    Well, technically you are earning the points from the credit cards and then buying the miles.

    Thanks Mel-world. Just found this article off Loyalty Lobby. I remember reading a thread here or on another forum re: Transferring MR points to a different SQ points and then the Sq account being frozen. Reader Question: Transferring Points To Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer With Non-Matching...

    Question RE: Changi dedicated First check in I'm sure I've read it somewhere but could not find it anywhere or searching wrong terms. I know you can check in with First pax if on same flight regardless of Class, however my parents will be flying R SIN-MEL and their friends flying SQ Y SIN-SYD...

    So I want to book MEL-HKG (F) return but want to add a stopover so I can do SIN-DPS (J) return at the start of my journey. Essentially MEL-SIN-DPS then DPS-SIN-HKG then HKG-SIN-MEL. Assuming I will get charged if I call up to book these redemption bookings, can/will Sq combine 2 return...

    ...hmm now that you put it that way. I will give them a call and see what the options are. Thanks for the alternate view on their wording. Also, is there a time limit to pay the no show fee to get points redeposited? It's been about 2 weeks since no show.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Oh, what I mean is, I don't want to pay for the fare that the insurance company paid for, which is the SIN-MEL leg of my journey. By pay, I mean not to try and claim my points back by paying the no show fee and then somehow the insurance company finding out and making me pay for the flights...

    So final update. In TPR right now. Thank god. 1pm today got travel insurance (via flight centre I believe) to book us a flight out of USM. 4.30pm flight. And the SIN-MEL on sq217 tomorrow morning. They booked us revenue flights, so get to claim some points out of all this, Woo . They also...

    Nah I haven't. Need all clear from Dr. Possibly tomorrow morning. Until then I can't book. Did get a WL for tomorrow 12pm flight clear and must be booked by 11am. Really hoping we get the all clear early morning otherwise we'll need to also rebook our SIN-MEL leg.

    Yes it's definitely a required read before flying. I think there's been one trip I relied on Amex travel insurance where I've booked one way trips only. Lucky nothing happened.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Oh thanks for finding that for me MT. Yeah I used Sq miles (transferred from Amex points) to book. Used the amex card to for whatever taxes and fare I could. Gee lucky I booked as a return trip and not 2 one ways.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Thanks. Forgot about this part. Hopefully insurance will cover the no show fees and change fee. The travel insurance agent also mentioned I may not have met the activation requirements of my policy. For some reason, I always had the understanding that having the card qualifies me for the...

    So in a sticky situation here and bit of advice needed. Currently mid trip in Koh Samui. Have my flight tomorrow morning 28th Jan 9.50am USM-SIN in J, then 30th Jan SIN-MEL in F, Sq218. That's a married sector/mixed class redemption booking. Unfortunate circumstances, daughter admitted to...

    Yeah on Sq 218. Been hard finding any saver seats on the other flights out of Mel lately. Asked at the lounge this time since last time I asked at check in they said check at the lounge. Seems bit silly that outbound Sq J you get the invite but not outbound MI J, especially if the...
