Just a quick question (haven’t found a thread that covers this). Is anyone else having an issue booking paid SQ flights to Asian destinations (esp BKK / HAN) from BNE or SYD in 2025 via the VA website? I can get MEL to kind of work on some dates but not the other departure points. Am I missing something? I’ve tried numerous different dates …. has something changed?? Thanks so much in advance. Cheers, Suz
 
It's not uncommon that the availability of VA codeshare flights can be very limited...although it does seem exceptionally so this far out.
 
You are too early. Looks like VA hasn’t (formally) loaded the inventories on SQ codeshares beyond IATA northern summer 2024. Flights are readily available via VA until Oct 29 which is the end of IATA northern summer season.

Cheers bcworld. Really appreciate the response. 😃
 
Thanks for this. I have been wanting to book flights to SIN for April next year for the family in Y. Can search and book PE rewards no problem but nothing paid. I will wait it out or book SQ direct.
 
Did anyone solve this? Looking to mark a BNE/SIN booking with a VA flight number to use up a travel bank credit.
 
Huge problems like this with the VA booking system, always has been. Can't book flights to many destinations, you can't even search for Dubai!

I think it's ridiculous they expect Lifetime Gold to have 75% of our credits on VA flights when you can't even book the flights you want as VA tickets (and have never been able to!).
 
On a side topic, I was thinking of travelling to Singapore in November 2025 and flying SQ.

With the change in having to earn our credits on VA spend, do you reckon I should book my tickets with SQ (since it's cheaper) or with VA? Since I am booking them now-ish but flying in November, however the switch-over for the Status thingy is from July onwards....

Thoughts? Thanks. =)
