SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[Risotto]

Off to Munich! Thanks Duffa (dad) - was happy to burn YOUR points before the price change.

It’s a recent “enhancement” since SQ updated their system.
Second bulkhead row in J used to be available even when flights were just reserved (not yet ticketed). SQ removed that option first and soon after blocked bulkhead all together.

Thanks Boomy. Wasn’t aware of that ‘enhancement’

My pleasure, Risotto!!
Enjoy the flight.
Need TR about the new lobster Thermidor with potato not rice!

Hey Risotto - long time no talk

Remember - Champagne glass FULL entire 2 flts or mask on - miracle you got Duffa to put his ultra short hand in his ultra long pickets!

Enjoy your flts - msg me when you home and we will get together for a mini AFF function

Nice, MissM is getting older and she is already asking to make sure I save a few points for her future travel

What a lovely dad!

From above I have somehow become my parents TA, they transfer points to my account and I make the bookings. Sometimes they have the required points but more often than not they don't, I just cover shortfall or book them revenue fare and not mention it.

Hello everyone. I’m waiting for a cash refund from SQ. I got acknowledgement emails that they received my refund request. They also said waiting time is 15 business days. It’s been 20 business days now. Am I being unreasonably impatient? I want to follow up, but I am not sure what is the best way to do it? Any advice?

I'm booked to fly with my parents, brother and his partner in long-haul J later this year - none have ever flown better than economy. I can't wait to see the look on their faces, I was hoping to keep it a surprise but unfortunately my brother noticed the seat allocations on his FF account and spilt the beans!

I wish I could do the same for my in-laws but they are into the JAL Global Club scene and have even gone to the extent of doing a FOP (status) run!

Is your brother older or younger than you as I have one of these

I just gave premium economy to Europe a go out of curiosity. All I can say is I’m glad I only coughed up for one way. The $1000 extra each way to Europe for premium economy over economy is better spent on a nice hotel. The seats weren’t terribly comfortable and the food was pretty much identical to standard economy, although there was just one extra choice. The toilets are shared with standard economy so there’s no advantage there. I booked the cook for a couple of the meals and the chicken rice on leg 1 was absolutely delicious. But at the end of the day it’s chicken rice, which doesn’t cost $1k.

I also experienced the new KF Gold lounge. It’s in essence the same as before but with the addition of toilets, which IMHO is an essential element of a lounge.

Anything from 3 days to 6 weeks. No rhyme or reason but the money always comes through.

Take a look in the mirror? Close your eyes and imagine Risotto? You still need to ask that question?

Took your advice and had a fabulous flight with lots of champagne. Dad got flights for me and my fiancé Ollie who has never travelled business before and is beside himself with excitement. He tried a few coughtails on the plane, and now off for a shower before the next leg. Not sure he’ll be able to adjust back to economy after this experience!

I have a redemption booking on SQ using Krisflyer points (but no status on Krisflyer). How do I change my frequent flyer details to my VA number (Velocity WP)? It does not seem possible through the "manage my booking" function on the website, it only allows for SQ/Krisflyer numbers to be entered in the relevant field in passenger details. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

It's not possible on a redemption even at checkin. Have to keep your KF. If you are in Y should be able to use card for any relevant lounge access

We have waited 12 weeks now, still unable to get any help. Calls result in generic answers like we will escalate, someone will call back, please remain patient, or call being disconnected.
So frustrating
