    Using miles to upgrade on Star Alliance

    I have enough points to upgrade from J to F travelling from MEL to Europe return.

    As we know there are no F Saver options from MEL with SQ so that rules that one out as I cant afford nor will pay Standard or Full.

    Am I right in saying that I have no other option to get to Europe in F as I cant think of another S* carrier that offers F from MEL?

    is my only option maybe to fly with TG from SYD and upgrade to F that way?

    Would rather avoid TG if I can but my options are limited as I really want to fly F.

    J in SQ is as good as F in TG in my opinion as long as you are on a 380 or 77W.

    I'd save my miles and use them for another trip.

      You will need to use more miles to fly J on SQ 380/77W than flying F on TG (at Saver).

        Exactly as I would need to use Standard points.

          Apologies, Chesty.

          I thought your question was whether to "upgrade" from J to F.

            My apologies too as I have misread. Somehow thought OP was going for full redemption, not upgrade redemption.

              Sorry yes I am looking to use my KF points to upgrade. I just cant believe how limited the options are for F.

                Where in Europe are you headed to?

                  To be honest I am not fussed. I know I can get the SIN-JFK route on the 744 but its the MEL-SIN thats a killer. Just very little options...

                    I think saver F is available on the 744 that plies MEL-SIN for the time being. SIN-JFK is possible but hugely popular (esp FRA-JFK segment) - you've got to book well in advance for that one and have lots of alternative dates in case you can't get the ones you want.

                    Wish you all the best!
