Air Canada awards on SQ seem to have increased

[luxury-lizard]

While checking today I noticed that SYD-SIN-HKG (or BKK) now shows as 60K points instead of 45K in J (while SYD-SIN is still 45K)

I was checking as I am concerned that with SQ moving to their version of variable priced awards - this could impact AC awards on SQ. AC already has variable pricing on its own flights as well as a few other *A and partner airlines.

That would be correct nothing strange here.

SYD-SIN fits under the 2001-5000 mile bracket which is 45k.
SYD-SIN-HKG is now a 5495mile journey which pushes it into the next bracket.

Afaik SYD-SIN-BKK is still 45k and that's correct as it's under 5000 miles
Nothing has changed here.

J SYD-sin-hkg is always 60K. The much bigger problem is lack of J Awards from SYD. It sort of made AC pointless for me.

Oops - I sort of panicked because I thought I saw SYD-SIN-BKK at 60K - obviously mistaken. I'm planning to burn my 400K+ AC points soon as I suspect with SQ moving to variable pricing it will have a flow on impact to AC awards.

Funnily enough awards on SQ ex-SYD are now showing up.

I wouldn’t write aeroplan off… excellent connections available with TG to Bangkok and Oman Air onwards from there. Plus the VA flights to Doha and connections onwards to pretty much anywhere in Europe/Africa with TK. Ethiopian to Africa as well.

Even saw BR out of BKK non-stop to Europe (although few and fare between).
