SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

Can I check in my luggage all the way to Sydney if I fly Silk J USM-SIN then F SIN-SYD the next evening??

Just a question regarding seating and overbooked planes.

I'm trying to book Y tickets MEL-SIN-SGN. Trying to select seats now for MEL-SIN for the missus and I. I can only see 1 free seat, the rest is all occupied and then there's the bassinet seats, which I can't tell.
Assuming the bassinet seats are actually taken, does that mean this flight is overbooked?

IIRC there was some discussion about this a little while ago - I think the outcome was that the seat map opens up closer to departure. Not sure of the exact timing for that though.

Have a look at this thread: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....sflyer/no-y-seats-available-select-73028.html

The seat map is a very poor indication of flight load. ExpertFlyer tends be a bit better. But still, if there's one empty seat, it's probably not overbooked (and unlikely to be).

But crazier things have happened so really, who knows.

Should be fine if it's on the same booking. No issue interlining bags between SQ and MI.

Ahh, silly me I should have searched my bad.

Thanks MEL & mrsmart.

Seems silly to only open up a few seats or even 1 seat? oh well.

Hi all, question around booking for SQ award seats.

I know from Luckys OMAAT's article that SQ opens up award bookings 355 days out - but want to check if anyone here knows what time of day that award booking opens up? I tried searching for threads on this but couldnt find anything..

Thanks!

Is this the "I am in the SK lounge thread" ?

If so, I am in the SYD lounge now waiting for 232 and enjoying a glass of French bubbles

I recently contacted SAA Feedback regarding the matter of non supply of TPR Invistation at check in at both MEL and SYD - response here:

VIA EMAIL

14 January 2016

Dear Mr Elite

Thank you for your email 5 January 2016. We apologise for the delayed response as we were experiencing a surge of feedback, compounded by the holiday season. Please be assured that we are currently looking at measures to ensure all feedback is processed and responded to in a timely manner.

We are concerned to learn of your observations, regarding the invitation to The Private Room at our various stations. We would like to assure you that this inconsistency is unacceptable and we have highlighted your feedback to our Station Managers in Sydney and Melbourne for their immediate review. Our agents are expected to meet our stipulated ground handling processes, and we regret that this had not been done.

We would be grateful if you could let us know, should this persist.

Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention, Mr Elite. We look forward to the privilege of serving you better in future.

Yours sincerely

Hopefully this inconsistency will be rectified in near future - my next F dep ex MEL Feb 3 so will check then.

A question - and no judging, we all have our little bucket lists, and one of the things on mine is a SQ bear.
I am in J from BNE - SIN, SIN-BKK, HAN-SIN, any chance any of these flights are likely to have the bear, or is it only ultra long haul flights that have them. Thanks
