SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[rurounimaikeru]

My first enquiry and seeking some guidance with regards to a full points booking.
I am only investigating flights at the moment, my actual booking time will still be a few months away (allowing for the 355 days prior release).

I've picked some test dates, entered Sydney to Singapore, ticked 'redeem flights' and I am searching for 3 people. I get options returned indicating it will be from 72,000 points for a saver fair pp each way.

A) if it does not say waitlist, does this mean the seats are available?
B) Clicking through confirms the total points + taxes and then, if I were to proceed, it asks for passenger details.

The ease at getting to this point, has me skeptical given all the stories I have read and difficulty securing seats, so I just want to be prepared for disapointment further along the booking - I am not able to proceed at this point as I have not transferred all of the required points to my krisflyer account yet and it prompts me to proceed with a points+pay scenario.

Appreciate any advice from the experts. thank you

Confirming I can also see 3 x J SYD-SIN for T-355., but not available at T-354. So you'll need to probably book within a few hours post release at 8am Sin time. And also keep in mind different days of week and season or holidays/events will influence availability.

Note B777 usually more available than the A380. So depends on whether timing an issue, but most prefer the A380 J seats.

Thank you, thats great.

Just on the T-355 thing. That should unlock March 30th, but the latest open date is March 28th (T-353).

Twice a year (April and November) there's a lag for about a week while they change inventory for the new season (from NW26 to NS27). Probably that, given the timing?

PSA: Singapore Airlines award seats temporarily unavailable at T-355 days - The MileLion

Singapore Airlines award space is normally loaded 355 days in advance, but twice a year there's a bottleneck. Don't panic, it's only temporary!

I have a J flight from Mel to Sing-HND next week
and a F flight on return, such a pity only my J from Mel to Sing is the A380
also my BTC: lobster didnt come up as option for the J flight, (not a big deal but surprising)

so very excited,
