No you can’t and this is what I thought you were referring - KF->VA->KF significant hit to pts transferred - again others may have done it but I haven’t - isn’t is something like 25% penalty each way?
Can't transfer between KF accounts. Have read here that you would have to transfer to Velocity acc then to your wife's Velocity acc then she can transfer to her KF account. Never tried it but I think you would burn quite a few points in the process.
thanks for the info.
She is just a few points short for a flight on VA for herself + daughter.
Will explore transferring some points to VA from her and my accounts, or she gets her ticket via KF and I buy a ticket for daughter with my KF points.
Flying with the spouse SIN->PER. Should we stick with the selected seats or move ourselves up? First time in Singapore's J so not sure what to expect with the centre consoles.
Has Book The Cook been dowgraded somewhat? We’re travelling AMS SIN in a couple of week. I know it’s a bit of a cliché bit I like my lobster Thermidorian! Not being offered :-(
I had similar experience with limited options on upcoming MUC to SIN flight, it seems to be dependent on the port you are flying out from. When choosing for the SIN to SYD sector I then had a dizzying array of options to choose from including the Lobster
We will be flying on SQ J with my daughter 1 year and 8 months. Is this seat configuration ok or should we change?
We have booked 19a and 20a - 2 adults and 1 child

We have done these trips many times with our 1 kid and then 2, but they are now older so they pretty much fend for themselves, so we now get to enjoy a movie/drink/sleep as required.
As it turns out we normally pick all the A seats now for the 4 of us!
I would move to 2 middle seats as your child won't fit in the bassinet at 18 months as they are about 75cm long and even when our kids were younger, every time the seatbelt sign came on, we'd have to take baby out of the bassinet.
Sitting behind each other you won't be able to see Mum or the infant or even pass items back and forward without getting out of the seat.
Any two middle seats would be better IMO
I've not heard and never have been moved from the two middle seats when we travelled.

We seem to alternate between D/F D/F and A A A A for the 4 of us now. The kids like being away from us a bit with the A seating, they seem to order endless apple juice and watch TV while we sleep (and think we don't know)

Not on seating but on why very young children start screaming sometimes.
Many years back, airline stewards/stewardesses were educated about the specific needs/issues faced by young children/babies. Top of the list was severe pain in the ears due to rapid altitude changes, especially combined with any pre-existing colds/nasal issues.
It is the Eustachian tube located within the ear that can cause this severe pain unless active measures are taken to progressively release the pressure. As we age its diameter grows and ceases (for most) to be a problem. For an 5yr< especially it can feel like knives being forced into each side of their head.
The Eustachian tube is an opening that connects the middle ear with the nasal-sinus cavity. This tube helps to: Balance pressure in the middle ear (commonly felt as your ears popping) Drain fluid from the middle ear. Protect the ear from both hearing sounds your body causes and nasal drainage.
For the more 'experienced' AFFers, will remember how virtually all airlines passed out boiled sweets before the plane took off (& often before landing) - to ALL passengers, not just young children. The process of sucking, moving the jaw, swallowing etc - helps relieve pressure building up.
We knew this when travelling with a 10 month old, so ensured we always had arranged for a baby bottle to be ready prior to takeoffs and landings. Sometimes simply a bottle kindly filled by a flight attendant with water, a couple of times they heated water to mix our baby formula with.
Result never a problem.
As a typical AFFer, I often talk with the FAs and have been astonished that virtually every airline no longer provides any guidance for dealing with small children for takeoffs/landings. Most FAs are shocked to hear there are such easy solutions to stop the obvious torment that so many young children experience.
We land at 1.20 am from LAX- NRT to SIN. Can we access sleep pods in Suites lounge in Changi at 3am and who do we contact to do that? We can shower in the First lounge I believe.

TPR close between 2:30 and 5:30am.
You can shower and use the nap rooms in F lounge which is open 24 hours. Note these rooms are officially limited to 2 hours but not enforced unless someone else asks to use them.

We find eucalyptus oil does the trick. We got a small (<100ml) empty glass bottle from our local pharmac_, stuffed it with cotton wool and then filled it with eucalyptus oil. Sniffing the aroma on take off or landing helps clear those ear/nasal passages.
(Don't use a plastic bottle as the eucalyptus oil can eat through some plastics.)

Singapore Airlines has nap rooms in The Private Room and First Class Lounge, but they have a few unusual "features."
onemileatatime.com
"These rooms are available on a first come, first served basis. Guests can enjoy the room for two hours, though if other people don’t want to use them, you can extend your stay. Even though The Private Room closes for a few hours every day (from 2:30AM until 5:30AM), you can actually stay in these overnight, so I guess at that point you get a minimum of three hours. That’s exactly what I did, since I arrived late in the evening, and departed early in the morning."
