I've got to start planning something for 500K KF points that are going to expire in APR next year.
First to LHR or CDG seemed like a nice experience as I've not done SIN first previously. However, of course, everything is waitlisted. Initially did a serious hunt from SYD as I had a dream of trying out a suite but theres nothing available. Trying to get a bit more realistic I had a look at availability out of PER where I live - nothing - theres no 1st out of PER and even J is fully waitlisted.
Looking at outgoing from SIN however see's lots of availability. Its all 'Advantage' - all the 'saver' stock is waitlisted but you know, it is what it is, I won't have the time left before the points expire to try and play the best value game.
I'll get from PER to SIN in some other way, have a ton of VA and Amex points so will have to see whats available.
Aside from some hopefully manageable inherent danger of booking adjoining legs separately (ie, if I can't get to SIN on the day for some reason .... argh!) is there anything nasty in this situation that I'm forgetting?
I usually don't do this, generally I book end to end on one ticket to put the onus on the carrier.
EDIT: Oh, whats the real-world difference between F and J on the 777-300ER? Photos on the SQ web site make the offering look pretty similar.
