No SQ J redemptions available 355 days out!

[mew]

I am trying to book a Europe to Perth return leg in J for next year. There are 2 problems I am having.

Firstly, the system is only allowing the full flight to be booked 353 days out, whereas the individual legs are available 355 days out. Previously I could book a full return eg MUC to PER 354 days out.

Secondly when trying to book the flights as separate legs, the SIN/PER availability is very poor. The past 2 days I have attempted to book the SIN/PER leg at exactly 08:00 Perth time when they are released, and both days all three flights are weight listed in both saver and advantage. Other days some flights have been available, but the 09:30 (which is the best for connection time from Europe) is always weight listed even if I try at 08:00 355 days out.

Are SQ allowing people with status early access to redemption booking the same as QF? Or are they just not releasing flights that they may sell easily?

I have seen flights in and out of AU to SIN get snapped up so fast at the moment on SQ.

I had the same issue with the EU flights coming out a day later due to time zones so having to wait the extra day and hope you can get the decent connection flight into AU is always a risk.

The redemption availability for business out of Perth is rubbish at the moment, they definitely not reserving seats for PPS members, been trying to get 3 tickets to Bangkok for ages, everything is waitlisted and most are advantage.

If you call them, they are generally amazing with putting redemptions on hold for you while you wait for the next leg to open up
