Hi Folks,
A quick search provided some pointers but it'd be mighty helpful incase anyone could add any insights.
I have a F-Saver redemption for myself (using SQ miles, I'm an SQ *G):
SQ 2 HKG-SFO 30Apr08 confirmed
SQ 1 SFO-HKG 11May08 waitlisted
For the return leg, I see wide availability in the revenue F fare classes.
My understanding is that SQ is likely to open up more award seats closer to the travel date for the return leg. Herein lies the quandry - my ticketing deadline is 25th April - what happens if another award seat doesn't open up by then?
As per the Krisflyer call center, I could book my return leg for a date when there is a seat available and waitlist for my preferred date. However they pointed out that this entails a loss of the 15% online redemption discount (anyway of doing this online?).
Any wagers on the likelihood of another O seat opening up before my ticketing deadline?
Any way of extending my ticketing deadline?
Should I wait a while (at the risk of losing other dates for which seats are available around my preferred date)?
Any idea how many days before a flight are more seats released, if revenue bookings are low?
