    OTA v Airline v TA

    Just to update the thread. I did some dummy bookings on the SQ website (breaking it down into single tickets) to see if that explained some of the difference. It seemed to be on par with with when I booked the three. I then did another booking (with a slightly different timing) and found that...

    OTA v Airline v TA

    Thanks all. Yes, the reviews are quite concerning hence why I am having some serious doubts. The price difference is tempting but also concerning at the same time. I have to confess to dealing with an airline when there issues as OTA are very difficult to get results out of when it matters. I...

    OTA v Airline v TA

    Hi there I am looking to book some SQ flights in J. Bestjet.com is offering three tickets. The SQ website is $1500 more for the same flights. I have read some pretty bad reports about Bestjet. There is a 2 hour connection in SQ (to a different airline which will be on separate itinerary) so...

    Star Alliance/SQ routing question

    What seems to be happening is that when I add the stop over my flight options out of SYD are restricted - which seems strange as I am flying straight through to TYO from SYD on the outbound (this is also replicated on webjet for example). So out of SYD on the straight SYD-TYO-SYD booking I am...

    Star Alliance/SQ routing question

    Greetings Has anyone had much luck with the multi city booking tool on the SQ website? I am looking for a straight SYD-TYO booking with a stop back from TYO in SIN for a few days (where I plan to go off on a separate flight to BKK before returning for a few days in SIN). A simple SYD-TYO...

    USA Itinerary for Family of 5, Thoughts?

    That's a lot of travel. You might need to plan some downtime. I've heard San Diego is good for kids with the excellent zoo, SeaWorld and Naval facility. I'm looking at it doing it myself with a 6 year old.

    British/Singapore trip

    BA seating layout is terrible. But service has always been good for me. I liked the seat on the SQ A350. Flew it from BCN to SIN. Service was impeccable. Food excellent.

    Duty free ex HKG to Australia - rule change?

    That's great news if no checks. Was checked 6 months ago. Really irritates me. I've no doubt it's a duty free scam for that monolith you are faced with on arrival into oz.

    Singapore - to Marina Sands Bay or Not?

    Always tend to stay at the Hyatt. Close to Orchard Rd and its transport options. Hotel facilities are quite good. The pool is decent. One drawback is that some rooms are quite poor in terms of noise insulation. Hotel says it is being addressed but I think it's structural and might require a...

    How do Hyatt treat you as an Elite?

    Thanks Danger. I have stayed at the Vendome property once but it’s pficds are well beyond reach for a longish stay. So keen to see how this property gets on.

    How do Hyatt treat you as an Elite?

    Can I ask what this property was like? I think it was an old Pullman? Or Meridian?

    Korean Air - J?

    Hi All Does anyone have any recent experience with Korean Air J? I have spotted a great deal to North America in J around Xmas and wondering if anybody had any experience to share? The fare is about $4k which is great to the USA. Ex Sydney.

    Syd to US route advice

    Thanks Syd and Juddles. What’s the FJ hard product like? I did some quick searching for QF fares and could not spot a matching return fare (found sale fares over but not coming back). But it was only a quick look so I will drill down a bit further this shortly. I’ve never been overly...

    Syd to US route advice

    Thanks NLJC88. Do you mind if I ask around what dep date you have? I was looking to go around that time myself (anytime from the 21st really).

    Syd to US route advice

    Hi all, I hope I can get some opinions to help make a call. I am looking to go from Syd to the Us (LAX ideally although any east coast stop will do). I looked at some fares in J and the cheapest seems to be United at about $6.5k. I love the SQ product so looked at fares out of Asia to the...

    DISAPPOINTED WITH SQ A350 BUSINESS BED

    I found the room more than adequate. I agree about the firmness. It wasn't the best but still a good product.

    1 Qantas or 0.75 Krys Flier points

    The expiry on KF is an issue (if the points auto transfer). But KF is well ahead.

    An Awful Qantas Experience That Must Be Shared.

    As this thread has been labelled “rant” I thought I would post a recent experience with QF here as I am not sure if I should rant. Flying out of Syd on Q400 requires a walk along the tarmac. No worries. On Saturday it was absolutely teeming down with rain. The gate crew took no preventative...
