Hi all
A query for the KF experts out there.
I have currently waitlisted J-saver flights for my parents from PER-SIN-HND return with a stopover on the way back. PER-SIN-HND is on 23rd Dec, HND-SIN 3rd Jan and SIN-PER 8th Jan. I did this online and then called up to add an additional waitlist flight for each sector to improve my chances.
I don't want my parents to be stranded especially around the holiday period so I am keen to lock in economy seats just in case. There are Y-saver seats available on the same dates so I was given the option to add on the available Y-saver seats to my J-saver waitlist booking. When I did this, I went from having no ticketing deadline to a deadline in a week's time. This obviously doesn't work for me so I removed the confirmed economy seats off the itinerary. I am thinking of booking the Y-saver seats on a separate booking and keeping the J-saver waitlist as separate. If it comes through, cancel the Y booking.
My questions are:
1. Should I book the confirmed Y booking separately? Does this reduce my chances of the J-saver coming through (i.e. does SQ know that the same names are already confirmed on the flight)?
2. What is the likelihood of the waitlists coming through? Is there any way of checking this?
3. Can you only waitlist 2 flights per sector?
4. Can you check which flights are more likely to come through (e.g. SIN-PER has 4 flights a day and I wasn't sure which to waitlist)?
5. Should I have booked my parents on separate waitlists to increase chances?
6. Generally, what would you do?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
