    Booking business class award options for family of 4

    We are planning for trip from Sydney to Europe and UK for family of 4 (2A + 2C) in April 2025. 2 years ago we blew all our SQ miles on SQ to Europe and back on their 4 * J Savers there and back (roughly 1M points). So I don’t have any more KrisFlyer miles left. So this time I am looking at...

    Singapore Airlines Business Class Meals & Menus

    Thank goodness I am flying SQ J again after 3.5 years, after my previous trip on SQ Y. So glad to burn all my remaining Krisflyer points for 4 * SQ J Savers to Europe and back.

    Singapore Airlines International Economy Meals

    Given the "inspiration" of the new Qantas International Economy meal thread, I thought I would start SQ version as well. So I flew SQ37 LAX-SIN and SQ231 SIN-SYD in early January 2023 in Y. You may think I am insane to take this route in Y but it was the only way to come back to Sydney from USA...

    Swapping Classes

    I have 4 * J HKG-SYD award ticket on QF at end of January next year. Now I have found that my parent-in-laws will be joining us.

    SYD-HKG QF F vs VA J

    I am currently booked on VA J SYD-HKG on 18 Jan at 10am. I checked AA and noticed that QF F is available on QF127 departing at 9:35am for 50K miles. The question is, is QF F worth it over VA J, especially given it is on their A380, and with HKG being such a mess, i may ended up getting a...

    Award seat availability for Qantas Gold members

    In the past I have struggled using QFF points when I was a Bronze, especially for 4 people. So I hardly used my stash of QFF points and I just let it slowly accumulate. I used to be able to use QFF to book on CX instead as CX used to be generous on their award availability. But with the recent...

    SCs after requalifying Platinum

    I have just requalified Platinum and I still have about 2 months left. What happens to the SCs earned for these 2 months? Do they go to waste given there is no lifetime status? I am trying to figure out whether it is still worth flying VA over QF for those times. QF has much better frequencies...
