Hi All

I am looking to book a flight Melbourne (MEL) to Singapore (SIN). A quick search shows the dummy booking via SQ which aligns with my travel :

MEL - BNE (Brisbane) : Monday Evening

BNE - SIN : Tuesday Morning.

However when booking on Aeroplan, the minimum stopover is 1 day, which pushes my MEL-BNE flight to Monday morning. If I do a multi-city, it adds up points cost from MEL-BNE and BNE-SIN which is more expensive.

Is there a way to book the flight I want utilizing the 5k stopover points?


Thanks

Are you looking at MEL - SIN on Aeroplan site or MEL - BNE - SIN? The former should give you the direct result.

I tried MEL-SIN for Monday Evening, annoyingly it shows me MEL-SYD-BNE-SIN. I can see the direct BNE-SIN for Tuesday morning

I think this might be a you need to call them to book it solution.
