Such sad news

If it were just me I'd take the risk, but for the wife and kids I'm dotting i's and crossing t's. The pain of having to re-schedule or worse, pay for a ticket, isn't worth the grief at home. Regards, Peter

This one I do know the answer for. It is ok to put dummy passport details in as long as you put in the correct names. I've got redemptions coming up next year for wife and kids, noone of whom have current passports. I confirmed all of this with the call centre. You just ring them later on with...

Hello All, Instead of posting a question as I usually do, I thought I'd pass on a bit of info that some may not be aware of - at least my searches on the forum haven't uncovered it. The question was raised as to whether you can effectively "double-dip" your redemption nominees by booking...

Cove, Even if we can't come close to matching your shenanigans, your card juggling is both legendary and very entertaining to hear about. Rgds, Peter

Update: All sorted by the lovely lady in the KF contact centre. She even went away for 15 minutes to work out the best way of doing it for the least points. I'm a happy camper. Thanks to all for the advice, and Cruiser for the tip off.

You're right that's what I need to achieve, but not quite as simple as just changing the departure date - the outbound is SIN-JFK, and breaking it breaks the whole leg. Unfortunately this one needs the contact centre. Nice idea on the alternative port, though - because I do need to get to London...

Yeah I know it's a bit short notice to be switching it around, but a guy's gotta try.

HI all, I have a little dilemma that BBTM (Bigger Brains than Mine) here might be able to help with. I have a fully booked Suites journey SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK on 12 Feb next year, returning via same ports starting 21 Feb. It's now highly desirable that I travel on 4th or 5th Feb, stopping in FRA...

In Feb this year the best options I could find were to DFW via MSP or DTW. I can't remember the pricing but was worth it. Returned same day. Regards, Peter

Collected the ANZ Black today with the wife - she claims all of my "stupid rules with the credit cards" make her head hurt, but she still enjoys the trips away. Looking forward to once again ramping up the earn rate, despite the "stupid rules". I now have separate cards for: ATO spend, general...

Congrats on the trip - you'll love it. In my experience, I've never pulled out my platinum card when travelling suites. Suites is advantage enough. Others may think differently, though. Have fun, Peter

If it's open to all then I'm interested, too.

I have a question for the knowledgeable ones here. Having booked my epic journey next year. I have SQ26 from SIN to JFK via FRA. What is the likelihood of me being allowed to insert a stopover in FRA, given of course, availability on the dates I need in Suites for the onward journey (Could also...

With 6 days of options I reckon you'll be unlucky to not get a waitlist clearing. The Savers are definitely the go for travelling almost anywhere. They make the longer routings pass very tolerably indeed. There are faster ways to get to the US, and possibly better ways to use points, although...

I'm sure I'd like you if I met you, Eggs, especially with a name like that - but what were you thinking.................

Hi Eggs, 233750 IIRC. Truly incredible value. Gotta love the savers. Regards, Peter

And in the "so far ahead you can't even see the taillights" department, I've booked for Feb next year in Suites. SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK return (and then down to MCO in Delta first yet to be booked). It's a long time off, but having just gotten off a jaunt to the US via NRT, and endured the incredulous...

I guess they share their ideas because they can, and while I disagree with them, I'll always argue for their right to express them. Dissenting views make life interesting. Now to the point - I've only flown SQ Y once in recent times (a few times earlier in life) and I was very happy with...

Re: Book the cook suggestions by departure city Yes my expectations might be a little high, I admit. I had the US rib steak on the SIN-SYD leg and it was an improvement on what I'd had before. In future though I'm going to ether stick to the std menu or do a BTC with other, more "liquid"...
