    No lounge access in Paris?

    You can few Saver award seats in J as well. I suspect that this is really the key to the lack of Saver R/F/Js :(

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I have switched for this Thursday night to the Yotelair Changi Singapore. This is my first time using it rather than my usual in the Crown Plaza, or the airside hotels. It is on the small side but looks clean, with a comfortable bed. I am only really using it for us as a couple to overnight...

    Probably in most cases, but there have been some on this forum who have reported more severe consequences.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Historically SQ has had redemption "buckets" both for individual leg flights and for routes (married segment). So as an example, I might not be able to see availability for MEL-LHR, but could for MEL-SIN and SIN LHR. Or vice versa.

    Scenic river cruise Europe

    Well you can cheat and get an e-bike. We see quite a few couples where one is a regular cyclist and is on a pushbike, and their partner is on an e-bike which allows them to both enjoy the ride at the same pace. Other companies also offer walking itenaries, both guided and unguided.

    Scenic river cruise Europe

    We have done quite a few of these now. Mainly for about a week. We love the freedom of going at our own pace, and to also divert. You need to do your own research as to what to see or do along the route as their notes basically cover navigation rather than sightseeing. You can sleep in and...

    Car rental rates during the pandemic

    I just booked last night my 21 day car hire in the UK for 22 June to 13 July. A day earlier, or a day later it said for 21 days "Sorry, there are no cars available" "Sorry, there are no cars available" was common, even when I was only looking for say 14 day options. Eventually after a lot of...

    Egypt plus SQ Suites/First photo TR

    We were also fortunate to be in Cairo during Ramadan, and enjoyed it very much. Only a few locals at lunch as you say. But as soon as the evening prayers started everything changed. The streets near our hotel would be filled with tables and chairs to deal with the huge demand from locals...

    Transit in Singapore airport 7hrs

    Thank you. We are Flying with SQ, and so they will provide boarding passes in MEL I assume as they always have done so in the past when I have had transiting flights in SIN. Bags will be checked through, and we will only have our cabin bag. UK has no testing requirements for entry.

    Transit in Singapore airport 7hrs

    So to Transit Landside, I assume all the testing requirements for Covid have now gone for both arrival and departure from SIN unless an arrival destination requires it?

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    Yes and I do this all the time. Mostly I will do it in paying a bill, or bills. I just transfer the $1000 in, and then out in paying the bill, or bills. So it is just money that I was spending anyway, and $1000 of it just goes via ING, rather than direct.
