Australia - Europe PE Booking Issues

[brissypete]

I'm looking at options for a likely trip later in the year and would ideally like to travel in PE the whole journey. Departing BNE as we now have A350 service (yay) however when searching on SQ site for PE the site gives the rather weird option of PE only on the BNE-SIN sectors and Y for the SIN-EUROPE sectors with a total price of A$2400.

However if I search on the LH site I can select PE on all sectors and it gives a price of A$3600 return which is what I would expect for PE on all sectors.

This issue predates the recent updates and I'd hoped it may have been fixed but alas not. Anyone had any experience with such weirdness as when it hopefully comes time to book this trip I'd much rather book direct with SQ due to seat selection, BTC and booking with SQ will enable me to retain VA Gold for another year.

For anyone attempting to replicate this looking at BNE-SIN-FRAxTXL-SIN-BNE in June, I've tried other city combinations as well and same problem.

Thanks!

This is the same problem Sydney had before when Premium Economy was first introduced. Although I wrote to Singapore Airlines about the online problem, it took a good five months before anything was fixed.

To get a quote for Premium Economy all the way through, you'll have to call Singapore Airlines.

Thanks, shame some airlines have such useless booking engines. Some very good PE fares available at present, can price them on google flights with prices around $3100 ex BNE return to Europe.

For anyone else who may be experiencing this issue I'm pleased to report that I was able to easily book by phone with SQ at the same prices as shown on Google Flights (+CC Fee). Paid A$3209 + CC Fee of $43.40 for PE BNE-SIN-FRAxZRH-SIN-BNE.
