SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[I love to travel]

Yes just seems to be Brisbane now

This Brisbane bug is still not fixed. Every saver seat to Brisbane is being released as wait-list in January next year. Everywhere else in Australia is fine. @Cruiser Elite is you still have contacts in SQ can you please sort this for us

And now the saver disease has even gone down to all Y saver flights. I am really hoping that this is a January bug that rights itself in 2 days when February flights become available to book

If I were a betting person (I’m not) then I’d be betting this is not a mistake, but rather an attempt to gauge whether people will pay Advantage rates when Saver is not available. They seem to have concluded that they will for F so Saver awards in F from Australia have all but vanished. Then they try with J and Y from a secondary destination to see whether it would work from SYD and MEL.

Would be a pleasure to help but alas my contacts within KF call centre were reposted during covid and I have been unable to cultivate a new contact.

As recent as 2 weeks ago i spent over an hour on phone to KF call centre in MNL trying to get a rather complicated J to R / F 1 sector upgrade SYD-SIN completed - sticking point was original F booking came from rdpt inventory and i needed to get call centre to contact seat controller to release a comm seat into rdpt inventory to complete it.

My contacts previously could routinely do this but new KF staff could not so after an hour they finally hooked me up to a Manager who arrangerd it in 5 mins. He was reluctant to give me his extension number as SQ have really clamped KF agents ability to progress anything not directly from script. I have the Managers name will keep working on it - who knows it might just come to fruition.

Absolutely none…. All 12 remaining 380’s have (new) suites.

I dont think saver F seats will re-appear, I had to book an Advantage F rate for a trip in July but really wanted to fly the A380 with the wife
