Hi All
First time poster, so apologies upfront is this is a dumb couple of questions and I display complete ignorance!
2 things.
1. I did a KVS search on an SQ flight for an economy to business upgrade for a flight (SQ981) I am booked in Y class on on 13/3. The flight showed availability of business upgrades, yet when I contacted Singapore to use Kris points, they told me none were available, but would waitlist me. I also tried a *alliance upgrade using US Air miles and the message returned 'no seats' form the website. To double check I then went to expertflyer, signed up to the free trial and did a similar search, with the same results, upgrades are available. Any thoughts?
2. I also have an earlier segment of the same booking that showed as unavailable to upgrade, although a number of C seats remain unsold (8 as of 5 minutes ago). The flight is 1 week today, so my question is would it be likely that if these seats remain unsold for revenue, SQ would release them for a star alliance upgrade? I dont have enough Kris points to use on that segment (BNE>SIN), but plenty of US air points. I will continue to try through the US air website, but just wondered whether I am wasting my time and they don't release more seats to partner airlines!
Again, apologies from a newbie, but I love the site. To think of all the uncomfortable (194cm tall!) Y class flights I have been on, never realising with a bit of expert advice comfort was available for a bit of extra cash!
