Just thought I would add some pricing if it helps (from Google Flights). MNL to AMS on 24 Dec and back on 13 Jan for $2626 Interestingly the price for CX and SQ has dropped as well to $3405 and $3838 respectively. Getting to MNL still proving to be a challenge for an reasonable price even in Y.

Looks like some fares have opened up from CGK as well.

So far I've found variants on QR to MXP, FCO and for a slightly higher price to MAD in or around Xmas if it helps.

Very exciting.

Leave plenty of time for traffic.

Thanks for the post! Would love to try to grab the fare around Xmas. Any ideas how to get up to MNL cost effectively at around that time (even if having to fly into another Asian port and then booking a seperate flight to MNL?). Or has anyone booked alternate dates to MNL from Oz and can share...

Anyone flown this airline? Paul Lucas gave them a terrible review recently.

Thanks for the tips Melburnian1. I have in the last few years developed a penchant for getting away at Xmas and have managed to get a reward flight on SQ to LHR and a decently priced SQ J flight to SGN last year so looking for any reasonable prices this year (tend to leave it to the last...

Thanks Melburnian1. What is their standard pricing like? Is it pointless looking around for something competitive around Xmas?

When I did the reverse I stayed on board in Milan.

Very interested to hear about the Oz to US via Qatar angle. Looking at some flights recently to the US and the option (cheaper) to go with Qatar or JAL to the US presented itself.

It's a scam. And not a local o/s one. An Aus Govt one.

Lee Lin Chin in SQ J from SIN to SYD. Lovely purple jacket. Style master.

Just a warning for those with BestJet as they have gone into administration. Reports of flights being cancelled or not ticketed. If you have a booking with them please be careful.

As a post script. I dodged an absolute bullet here. Best jet went into administration. People having their flights cancelled left right and centre according to threads on whirlpool

Wish I had known about this last year. I flew into SIN on BA to transfer to SQ. Went out through immigration and back in. Had three hours plus to do it. Very easy albeit this option sounds great.

Just to close out the thread. SQ website still showed about a $1500 PP difference. OTA actually moved up in price. I ventured into a high street TA. Asked my questions. They were able to offer a great price. Much better than SQ direct. For some reason SQ direct wanted to add a huge premium for...

Can I just supplement this thread and add one other question. I am booking three tickets (one for a child). I have read that SQ is not as free in allowing transfers to other accounts. I am the only SQ FF member. Should I just join my partner and our child or would SQ just credit the points for...

Yes it seems so. Sadly. I had always thought SQ encouraged them in partnership with the local Govt. Tried seperate bookings too and could not match the price on SQ at least. Leaving bestjet...haha.
