I love them! They aren't on all flights, but I've always had them ex-SIN. Were you on a breakfast flight? Did the menu say you should have been served them?
*snipped / butchered!
Thanks for the detailed update - about time we went back to ZRH!
Not sure if you were aware, but the SingaporeAir app tracks your bags for you. You can see when they left one plane and were put on the next. Such an easy thing but really valuable. We flew in July when...
Nice work, love their availability!
We've got return J to Europe next year, all savers, happily departing IST as that's all our points could stretch to!
Side note J IST - MEL is 99k points for saver, but 167k for advantage? Why?!
That’s disappointing. We had an IFE annoyance on our last flight which left a sour taste (apologies offered profusely, but no compensation unlike when it happened in F). Baggage was a dream every leg (love that you can see on the app that your bag has been loaded!)
SQ don’t do J PJs (at least...
We received an offer to upgrade our (points paid) J leg from SIN to LHR for $6300 per person... no option given to use points.
I'm guessing that was more than the cost difference of a paid ticket back in July, maybe not now!
Strange - do you know what happened?
I received a SMS telling me about it every time I went near-ish a different country (ie Optus welcomed me to France when I was in Dover 🤣)
Interesting - it didn’t for me? I turned off mobile data to everything else so nothing was chewing it up in the background.
We’d previously done the load up on Wi-Fi then follow the blue dot, but the ability to change route cause traffic (M25!!!) or detour cause something looked interesting was...
We flew out late July & everyone I saw was wearing one. Wasn’t too bad (I did switch to a cotton one when sleeping) but I’m grateful to be flying home early Sept!
we jumped on this plan pre-covid for a trip to Singapore that never happened.
Happily now we’re driving through Northern Italy & being able to use the map ap via Apple car play is fantastic! Tracking the data usage is super easy, and Optus sent a warning SMS when there was only 2GB left.
Sorry, jumping in with a side bar question....
We had FCO-SIN which has now been re-routed to FCO-CPH-SIN. Will we need to clear passport control CPH? (And yes, the flight time is hideous!)
Our Weber Q arrived today (ordered 4/4). I’ll always feel disloyal using it :-( It’s probably worth what we stand to lose in travel bank / booked flights / vouchers, so that eases my conscience a little.
Madly hoping Virgin pull through as they’ve always treated us well.
Looks like my remaining velocity points stash coverts to a case of Veuve.... never thought I’d entertain that idea, let alone sneak it past the husband!!
Seriously, good luck Virgin. My fingers are firmly crossed.
