SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

Just remembered I have to book at Advantage level because my miles are expiring soon.

Does that work ???? Like Qantas DSC movie tickets ??

So some small improvements..

Singapore Airlines refreshes in-flight dining, including Christofle chinaware

Singapore Airlines has started rolling out over 100 new and refreshed dishes across all cabins, with Christofle chinaware and new spirits following from November.

A decent Gin in business at least and some new plates I guess and a Caramelised Apple Tart in Business Class which as long as it comes with ice-cream or cream is a winner for me!

 

[MEL_Traveller]

About time for a new menu! Huzzah!!

And new plates too! We’ve gone from the 80s to the 90s!!

Somerhing, perhaps, to look forward to on my flight with them early next year!!

If you book Saver you cannot make changes to the booking. Hence if your miles have expired since you made the booking then they are gone if you cannot fly. Booking Advantage or above gives the option of rescheduling at a cost of us$25, so your expired miles are still in play.

If you book 12 months out with advantage, can you reschedule a further 12 months in advance, or like many other airlines are you still restricted to rescheduling only within the original 12 month window?

Can't answer that though my guess is as long as there is availability I cannot see why not. After all your initial booking might already be almost 12 months out.

Last year I changed a Saver award online. It cost me USD25. I have never booked advantage.

I believe it is discounted awards booked as "Promo", such as "Spontaneous Escapes" that cannot be changed.

You can make changes to a saver award, just costs more:

No you can't extend that booking out for a further 12 months, otherwise you could indefinitely keep your miles from expiring by continuing to push your flight dates out.

True, restaurants are slowly coming onboard the mocktail game, quite a few I was at over the last week or so had some very nice mocktails, although they were priced only a few $$ below the coughtail versions!

So, I'd expect another 10 years for SQ to catch up

Finally got a J redemption booked, well reserved really as I will try and change a SIN stopover on return if availability appears. I think 3 nights in SIN might be a bit too long for us. Not back in the 1970's of-course, but now. Advice / opinions?
Depart SYD late May27 and returning late June. As mentioned it is reserved so hoping I can see availability on return for fewer nights in SIN before I lay my points and money down.
My miles expire this month so I am on tenterhooks. As I understand it if points expire in October I have until end of the month.
(KrisFlyer Basic, Elite Silver, Elite Gold members: Miles expire 3 years after being earned — specifically at 23:59 Singapore time on the last day of the equivalent month they were credited. For example, miles earned in April 2025 would expire on 30 April 2028. (Miles from contests expire after just 1 year.)

Lamb chops BTC from Singapore today. Was absolutely wonderful - one of the best meals I’ve had on any airline!

I booked a trip to KUL with fairly late notice to go to the F1 so my flight/CoS choices were limited.

So just to balance some of the J/F content I have just got off a 7 hr SIN-MEL flight in Y. It was actually quite bearable. However I chose not to photograph my VGML bean curd in sauce with cous-cous meal.

A day trip from the timings - Economy can be tolerable; just need a reasonable seat, headphones and knowing that you'll be getting off in x hours.

Recently did J return SIN-CPH-SIN, on A350-900 LH. Two great flights, perfectly on time and very friendly cabin crew.

The only real disappointing aspect was that departing Singapore there was only one main dessert option (Ice Cream + Chocolate + Macaron) plus the usual cheese selection. But they only loaded the main dessert option for 80% of J passengers, so by the time my wife ended up requesting dessert the only option left was the cheese selection. I know on previous SQ flights when there are multiple dessert options I've had the situation where one of the desserts is heavily preferred by passengers so you're only left with the secondary main dessert option, but for SQ to only load enough main desserts for 80% of passengers seems quite surprising and a bit of a miss in business class. Departing CPH the entree was a non-seafood option which was nice variety from the usual seafood entrees.

Flight over was in Row 11 bulkhead which I probably prefer to Row 19 bulkhead, even though Row 19 is slightly wider in the foot well area. Row 11 was quieter from a galley and toilet perspective, although the flip side on that was the crew didn't necessarily come by to check for re-fills or if we were awake for meal service as often they do when you are further back. Flight back was Row 22, which was fine but definitely noticeable difference in the angled leg space but I noticed the crew were much more attentive in walking through the aisles checking if anyone needed anything, more so than on previous SQ J flights where I sometimes find you need to go find the crew if you want a drink refill when the cabin is dimmed for sleeping.

ZSW the call button is there for a reason and crew will always respond promptly - def no need to go seek them out my friend
