Hi all,
Need some advice. Recently made an award booking BNE-SIN-SFO for June 17' on SQ32 A350 in J with Velocity. Didn't realise that I didn't enter my middle name when I registered my velocity account 10 yrs ago. So, now the problem is that the booking name doesn't match my passport (missing middle name).
Velocity agent said that they can't just add my middle name to the booking and will have to cancel, then rebook the flight. As can be expected, SIN-SFO award availability is non-existent. So there's a great risk that once my existing booking is cancelled and the award seat released, they can't guarantee that they'll be able to get the seat back.
I've tried contacting SQ directly and their agent was initially very happy to change the booking name for me, until they realised that Velocity holds the booking... Then they dumped me back to Velocity agent again...
What can/should I do in this case?
Leave it and take the chance that I'll come across a nice check-in agent whom'll let me continue with my journey?
Or persist with cancelling then rebook, with risk I won't get SIN-SFO sector back and end up cancelling my trip entirely...
Any suggestion / help appreciated.
Kevin
