Suite Redemption Upgrade - The Next Hint...

[SMK77]

SQ's IT is giving the next hint on the Suite Upgrade enhancements.

Just looked at my LHR booking and it says:

Redemption upgrade to Singapore Airlines Suites is not available online.

Go figure

Cool...cant wait to spend 1 million miles to upgrade to suites.

Oh don't exaggerate! It was only 972,000 the last time around

No lah... 63750 miles (including online bonus) should get you an upgrade to Suite from your J ticket to/from HKG...

For sure not a bargain, but I am sure a couple of people would burn their miles...

I don't understand what you are saying. There's nothing new about this. If you had purchased a business class ticket, you would see the above message when you opened up your pnr.

I haven't even purchased a biz ticket... Noted this on an upgraded booking.

Why didn't you post this? IT is the best source of upcoming changes...

Hi all, I gathered from various posts (and the SQ website) that you can't upgrade to Suites.

However, when checking the Awards Chart just a moment ago (yah to see where my current few miles can take me ), I noticed something different about the fine print:

QUOTE

GENERAL NOTES:
. . .

• Only Standard and Full upgrade awards are available for upgrade from Economy to Business Class on A380 flights. For redemption of upgrades to the Singapore Airlines Suites, please contact KrisFlyer Membership Services.
• Only Saver upgrade awards are available for redemption on SilkAir flights.

Hmmm??? Anyone upgraded before and yes, how many million miles required?

Has anyone tried making a dummy ( or real ) booking on A380 SIN-LHR-SIN this month ( Sep )?

[eriond]

Noticed that the fare for R is S$2k cheaper at S$18k...

[trekkie]

Interesting development

[Kyo]

So, what's the cost to upgrade on the shortest sector...

*Tosses hat into the ring for 'Full F' award fare + 50k KF!*

I did post something to this effect back in Jan 2010:

9V-SIA, besides the slightly lower fare, is there anything else noteworthy?

Yeah, and that wasn't even for an upgrade!
It was a full award normal redemption for Sin-Syd, window lasted for about 3 days.
IIRC, mhadian may have scored one of these.
Apologies if incorrect.
