Me too!

Although, no mileage accrual...

Happy to fly SQ anyday though.

HOpefully fares to JPN are available!

Yes mileage earning fares in SQ these days usually come at a substantial ($300+) premium to their sale fares. Usually QF match the sale fares and offer FFpts/SC's, although I do realise from PER/ADL/BNE/MEL getting to anywhere in Asia other SIN on QF can be difficult.

No matter how good SQ are in there I still can't get my head past the fact that some of their competitors (I am thinking QF, and EK for BNE/MEL) actually still value your loyalty, even on lower fares. SQ do not.

(End of rant!!)

dajop: Hello! I'm new to this!

When you mention match fares, is that by ringing up their customer service or going to a branch and asking them to match the price?

I would gladly do that - my partner already has tickets on qantas and im just looking for a cheap way to get there too~

Not wanting to speak on dajop's behalf but I believe he/she is referring to the fact that QF will sometimes release a 'counter sale', sometimes without fanfare and only noticeable by looking on their website. It does not involve phoning Qantas as they will only quote you what the website does - plus an extra fee for speaking to a person! So, essentially, keep your eye on the QF website for the next few days and hope for the best.

Yep spot on. This was exactly what is was alluding to.

Has anybody had any luck finding these fares? I've searched a number of dates during the sale period for Perth to Singapore return and the cheapest I can get is $985 and for Perth to Hong Kong about $1385.
