The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

[SOPOOR]

For the last 12-18 months. I have posted about it a number of times and been given dog’s abuse from people telling me it ain’t so.

i appreciate informative posts, and it seems the internet is full of butthurt people when they think someone is wrong

On my recent RTW with SQ J BNE-SIN-LHR/FRA-NYC /SEA-SIN-BNE the J cabins between BNE/SIN were completely full and had been for many months. Unlikely to see much availability in this sector. The other sectors were also very full but some available seats. I wonder if this holds true for Suites availability as SQ seems to be doing well at selling the seats for commercial revenue. As always with redemptions be flexible and be prepared to travel off the most popular routes/times.

I've been booked on SQ Amsterdam - Sydney in Q (Economy Lite ) straight through with only a 90 min layover in Changi... although I have star alliance gold (with Aeroplan not Krisflyer) have I read it correctly that I have zero eligibility/chance of a paid upgrade to PE, even at check-in?

Yup, no upgrading with miles on economy lite fares, Star Alliance Gold won't make a difference.

Damn, that sucks. More than happy to pay the fare difference in cash not miles … I wonder if that’ll work… damn the agent who booked it I can’t complain really, I didn’t pay.

I need to book a SIN - SYD rewards flight with VFF, but only option forced stopver, which is SIN - BNE - MEL.

Theres a 2hr layover in BNE, is it possible to disembark and skip the MEL leg, and book a separate BNE - SYD booking without issue?

Will you be travelling HLO? Google "singapore airlines skiplagging" for data points.

Why would it need to be HLO? Need to collect luggage at BNE anyway. Also SQ wouldn’t care, they didn’t issue the ticket. Really the question is about VFF skiplagging not SQ skip lagging.

Generally wouldn’t expect it to be an issue transferring from international to domestic, especially going to a different carrier. I am surprised SIN-BNE alone isn’t available though.

Good point, I hadn't clocked the I-D transit, but it would be possible then.

Also SQ wouldn’t care, they didn’t issue the ticket.

Wouldn't it be SQ's conditions of carriage in effect? (where it is likely a violation - I haven't checked)

Looks like I'll need to cancel a rapidly upcoming flight in suites which was made with expiring KF Miles... can I modify the booking and save the points, or will that still lose those which should have expired??
