I'm not sure if I've stumbled upon a reasonable value for reward flights from Australia to Singapore or not.
From what I can see, often the single biggest limiting factor with reward flights, is the AU to where ever redemption. Often I find open availability, on flying once out of Australia.
With that in mind, I've looked at alternatives and I found what I consider pretty good value. CNS-SIN on a VA J reward booking on Silk metal (53K +AU$92), which comes in cheaper than SQ (62K +AU$92). For me, the CNS option is perfect and for +1, using a CC travel credit for the BNE-CNS flight will also be hard to beat (coupled with a Hilton night in CNS of course)!
Although I think Silk is yet to transition to their lie flat seats on the 737 Max 8, hopefully they might have a couple flying by August
(and hopefully they have pilots who know how to handle a cantankerous plane with a penchant to dive into terra-firma when things go haywire), but we have a daytime flight anyway and unlikely to make use of lie flat and I have read even the old J seats have a 12" recline and stacks of legroom to make way for the lie flat when they arrive.
So what is the best value AU to SIN redemption's (Y, PE, J or F)? Have I found it, or am I delusional?
