BNE-ATH redemption

[albatross710]

Has anyone got any experience getting to Athens on SQ? I notice that they no longer have direct flights from SIN and use a code share with Olympic Airlines via IST.

With the codeshare, I can't search online for the redemption availability.

Got to love the SQ booking engine though when i did a revenue fare just to see the schedule.

BNE-IST return for a Y tix = $2,117
BNE-IST-ATH return for a y tix = $8,768.

An Olympic Airlines return tx IST-ATH-IST is about $270 in a Dash 8.

Ideally I'll be looking to redeem BNE-SIN-IST/ATH/IST-SIN-BNE.

SQ do fly to Athens but only two or three times a week.

Also check Aegean Airlines (A3) - Aegean Airlines took over Olympic Airlines

When are u going to Athens?

I was under the impression the direct SIN-ATH was returning for the summer.

My travel is May.

Thanks for the hints about Aegean. I did notice that one of the codeshare offers from SQ had economy only IST-ATH, the other had J. I will be sure to optimise.
