    No more VA connections on SQ tickets?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was trying to book a paid ticket.

    No more VA connections on SQ tickets?

    I've been trying to book a sin-cbr flight that comes in overnight from sg (can't take a day off work for sq288). However, I cannot see any connections via mel or syd. On the way back, I can't see anything from CBR to SIN that isn't on SQ288. I also had a look at flights to HBA and other...

    Economy X [Domestic free for Platinum] - May 2017

    Just got off a flight from MEL to CBR. Asked if any seat further in the front was free and was told to that I'd have to pay for the Economy X seats if I wanted to move up any further than row 6. The flight went out with row 3 half empty and completely empty rows 4 and 5. As a SG I'm really...

    Has anybody status matched recently to any other airline? Statusmatcher doesn't seem to have very many successful matches from Virgin.

    Changing upgraded flights

    I finally managed to find an answer. Flights booked in PE and upgraded with points can only be changed to other flights that have a PE cabin and also have award availability for the same dates. If the flight one wants to switch to does not have a PE cabin then the entire ticket has to be...

    Changing upgraded flights

    I have tried getting the SQ call centre to answer this but haven't got anywhere so I was wondering if anybody knows how the changing of upgraded flights works with SQ. Say for instance, if I book a premium economy ticket from Singapore to Sydney and upgrade that to biz, can I then change the...

    Connecting flight waitlisted but individual segments available

    I just booked another award from SIN-CBR-WLG with a stopover in CBR, while the through flight was showing as waitlisted, the flights with the stopover cleared immediately. It might be worth paying the 100 USD extra and taking a stopover if they can confirm both flights for the lower points amount.

    Connecting flight waitlisted but individual segments available

    Forgive my ignorance but could you explain what a married segment is? I'm a bit new to the points game.

    Connecting flight waitlisted but individual segments available

    Me too. Funnily enough the waitlisted ticket cleared as well. There seems to be some strange things going on with the SQ booking system for CBR flights but that's a whole other story.

    Connecting flight waitlisted but individual segments available

    Had a long chat with Krisflyer membership and apparently SQ has different quotas for award seats for direct flights and connecting flights. So even though there were 4 award spaces available on the SIN-CBR flight, all the connecting flight quota was used up and couldn't be accessed. This is the...

    Connecting flight waitlisted but individual segments available

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I made the stopover booking on the phone. I'll try and call again and see what they say.

    Connecting flight waitlisted but individual segments available

    I just tried to book an award flight from HKG to CBR with a stopover and was told that I could only get a wait list place. However on those dates there is availability on both legs for saver awards. Does anybody know what the problem could be and how I might be able to resolve it?

    Obtaining Gold partway through a trip - Partner lounge access

    That's an excellent idea. The status should come through as I have a few weeks between flights (at least I hope so).

    Obtaining Gold partway through a trip - Partner lounge access

    I have a long trip planned and will hit VA gold halfway through it. Since I'll be overseas I won't be able to get my VA gold card till I return. I was wondering if there would be any way to access Delta Skyclubs during my U.S. domestic flights without a card? I know that the status should show...
