How do you book VA codeshare flights operated by SQ?

[GordonJ]

I'm perplexed. I want to travel from CBR or SYD to Europe (flexible arrival point) in SQ PE class which I have previously booked via SQ. On this last trip I noticed that the flights also had a VA codeshare number. But no matter how hard I try I can't get to book to any European destinations on the VA website except via Etihad which doesn't have PE. I would prefer to travel on a VA ticket to earn sectors. I emailed VA customer support a week ago and haven't had an answer. Does anyone here know if and how it can be done?

It does indeed appear that VA doesn't offer SQ codeshare bookings for travel in Premium Economy. I couldn't find a fare either.

Seems like a lost opportunity for VA, really.

It's possible to book VA coded SQ operated Premium Economy flights however for some reason it won't show all of the options via Australia.

VA's inventory is limited to R and W class availability for Premium Economy which does show on the VA website but only for simple searches like Australia to Singapore.

My best suggestion is to use a website that will allow you to search for space like BCD Travel or Expert Flyer.

In the preferred airline area type in "VA" and when you however over availability it'll show if there is any R or W space. You'll then need to call VA to get it priced and ticketed.

Thanks for that - works like a charm except for the price......

I'm guessing what VA quoted was significantly more than SQ?

Around 22% more..... Certainly not worthwhile.....
