Due to a large KrisFlyer points balance (half a million KF) from multiple cancelled trips in 2020 and no real clue when I might be able to travel with SQ again I decided to book a VA redemption (domestic flight) using some KF points. It all appears confirmed in the SQ site and my flight is in a...

I've made two business class redemption saver bookings next year (optimistic ?) but have encountered technical errors when paying (tried multiple credit cards). SQ say they are having IT issues but this has been going on for weeks. Anyone else having trouble ?

Finnair is apparently removing removing fuel surcharges on long-haul award flight redemptions from 25 June. It's not quite clear whether this would also apply to awards booked through partner airlines, but here's hoping it will also apply to Qantas redemptions...

The old style first suites are readily available as a Saver redemption, but the newer version is always 'waitlist' at best. Am I being blocked because I have no status? Do they just book out the instant they are released? Or am I just missing something? Cheers, Pete
