I am speechless.
J bookings seem to be really bad for SQ.

Dear Mr StarG,


Complimentary Upgrade to Business Class



As a token of our appreciation to your continuous support, we are pleased to offer your companion a complimentary upgrade to Business Class when you book your next trip on Singapore Airlines Business Class.

When you travel with one or more companions (up to maximum of 4 persons travelling together), every one of them would only need to pay our Standard Economy Class fare to receive a complimentary upgrade to Business Class, and enjoy the full benefits of Business Class services, including Airport lounge access, higher baggage entitlement, and of course inflight service that even other airlines talk about.

What’s more, this offer does not carry any flight restriction, it is mileage accruable, and applies to any destinations Singapore Airlines flies to, so that you can customize your travelling needs with greater value.

Our Complimentary Upgrade to Business Class Program is valid for booking until 31 July 2009, for travel until 10 September 2009. For more information, please contact our reservation hotline at 5790-3828 or visit singaporeair.com to get the full list of our special fares.


With Warm Regards,

Nam Lee Seng
General Manager Indonesia
Singapore Airlines Ltd.

WOW. Never saw this coming.

[HUGE AL]

StarG, does this mean you're on your way back?

[SQflyergirl]

Just when we thought Garuda was going to give SQ a run for mr StarG's money....!

[milehighj]

Wow...

[Bon]

I didn't know SQ is that desperate. Great deal though...

[SuperJonJon]

WOW!! Now only if they offered it here in SG.

[UMD]

What a great deal! The last time I was flying J from CGK about 2 - 3 weeks ago, it was actually full. So, maybe SQ is just desperate to attract more Indonesian passengers to fly through SIN. But then again, SQ is already the largest carrier out of CGK for International traffic.

WOW!! Now only if they offered it here in SG.

Is this a targeted promo, StarG?

C'mon, SJJ, CGK is a relatively short hop with lots of flights. Think of how much Mrs SJJ would love your gift.

StarG, I'd need to know when you are supposed to fly ex-CGK, so that I can position myself to fly with you

[StarG]

StarG, does this mean you're on your way back?

I wish!
Seems like this is yet another excellent recent SQ promo I can't take advantage of (I totally missed the 'Special Upgrade Points' promo as well).
My current month travel is booked and issued, my next month's trip is a full flight on the way back - I don't think the upgrade for the companion would clear.

I'm not really sure, jjpb3. Received this by e-mail.
My guess is that it is for all PPS members.

Don't give her ideas! Luckily Mrs SJJ does not read SQ Talk.

But she is temporarily grounded due to the pending arrival of Master SJJ!

Congrats SJJ. Great news. Is the first Master SJJ?

Yes, he will be the first Master SJJ.
