Due to recent changes to earning Status Credits on VA‑marketed flights, including a 50% cap on partner airlines, I need to book my Singapore Airlines flights to Asia through Virgin Australia to retain Platinum.
When booking through VA, I can only select Flex or Business fares (when available).
I’m curious about the options once a VA‑marketed, SQ‑operated Flex fare is booked. Can I select Economy seats with extra legroom using Singapore Airlines reference on their website and pay SQ directly with a credit card?
Can I upgrade to Premium Economy through Singapore Airlines, select a seat, and pay the fare difference with a credit card?
I’d appreciate any insights from anyone who has tried either option?
