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

[mel-world]

That's great, if you can find the availability and book early. There is so much commentary about the lack of saver seats that its good to see that multiple seats on some flights are still available. I had a look on AC Aeroplan and it looks as though SQ only makes one J seat available on the first and last flight of the day ex MEL. Mind you, the days of me having a spare 423,000 miles available have long gone.

i feel/hope saver availability increases once we are past the 365 day window since the last devaluation
think should be Oct/Nov 2026.

I am looking for FRA in September this year for 1 in J and nothing except access.
used to be able to find 1pax pretty easily +/- 2days of what I needed, usually saver 1 way and advantage the other way

FRA used to be good, AMS can be good.

LGW is hit and miss

Savers will become harder IMO with the new J product

or put another way, Airlines will continue to push redemptions to the routes and flights where it is of most benefit to them.

SQ have always done this with every change of fitout, aircraft etc since I started this thread back in pre-historic 2014.

I have a J saver flight in 3 weeks, got another "you are still on the waitlist" email today, so it will be cancelled next week IMO

I have another booking already at the Advantage level so that's ok for this flight.

After this years travels, I have to start burning up the 3 million QF points I have on EK flights

Just received waitlist was not successful email for a MEL-SIN-CDG J saver in 2 weeks, and there appears to be around 8 seats left in J as well

Well yeah that’s unfortunately well known how SQ works with awards - there are a fixed aka small number of award seats per flight, for Saver and Advantage. Once those sell out - they’re gone and SQ do not release additional inventory. If it’s flight day and for whatever reason, the 50% of the cabin is empty because revenue tickets didn’t sell, then yeah SQ will still always prefer to fly those seats empty rather than clear the waitlist and give pax those seats.
