SYD-SIN-HK via SQ Suites - what benefits can I get?

[MEL_Traveller]

63,750 miles for one way F redemption including 15pc discount? This is great value!

That's right. First class cabins, easy and good availability, low redemption rates. More Simpler and Fairer.

Just thinking about the SYD - SIN - HKG, if I wanted a stop over for a few days in SIN is that more points? Do I search for SYD-SIN and then SIN HKG?

NO just search SYD-SIN for the day you want to fly there - then search SIN-HKG for the day you want to continue on - then call SQ/KF call ctr and see if they can marry the sectors. Even if you can see both flts available on the day you desire there is still a chance that KF rep will not be able to marry the sectors to complete the rdpt - I have had this numerous times but most times it can be achieved.

points remain the same. Saver award ticket , you can have ONE free stop over. any additional stop over cost $100 SGD I think.

According to T's & C's there is NO FREE Stopover on o/w rdpts - there is ONE FREE Stopover on ret rdpts.

Some AFFers have posted they have received FREE Stopover on o/w rdpts - I never have - I have had dozens of stopovers on o/w rdpts but always had to pay USD100 for them.

Thanks cruiser.

Is availability a bit like QF in that the earlier the request the better to get the sectors to marry?

Absolutely - well maybe - well not always. Rdpt availability is a weird beast controlled by even weirder beasts A.K.A. yield management team - they live in a strange little world where mortals are forbidden - they have an amazing ability to baffle all others - but they are the ones who release rdpt inventory - shop early is still the best rule.

Plus you can always get a SQ Teddy.

First I've heard about this! Is this complimentary for F pax, or do you mean buying from their inflight duty free catalogue?

They're for children, complimentary, but if you really want one you can ask

True. I got 3 of this when travelling with infant ( F class ) They let you choose which model, but my daughter took them all

 

[Kangol]

Awesome, another thing to look forward to!

How the hell do you keep inside the lines with a skinful of Taittinger Prelude in J? Or Krug in F?

Thanks. Another question if wife, 5 year old daughter and MIL is in J and I am in F/R can I bring my daughter with me during the flight for a meal or my wife in F/R?

Just find it too hard to get 4 J seats instead of 1 F/R and 3 J seats on the same flight lol. Good excuse?

Almost certainly the answer will be 'no'. SQ is not particularly big on visits at any time, let alone during a meal service.

Nothing to stop you asking, but as they say... 'refusal offend offends'. You are of course free to visit family/MIL/daughter in business class. The crew won't buy the excuse... they know there are plenty of revenue seats in business class if you wanted to buy them

Thanks for the tip. I will try for 4J but if not will need to do 1 F/R Saver and 3 X J savers.

You can completely swap the F seat with either your wife or MIL. Just let the crew know on boarding that you wish to change seats and they'll make a note of it.

ok thanks. Now to decide if I can sacrifice an A380 for the 777-300 and 77W. Are there any new F's running on this route?
I'm flying SYD-SIN-HKG vv
