![]() OK, this is not really 'New' having become effective almost a year ago in November last year, but as no 'official' announcement of this policy has been made, and as it was suggested it isn't really for publicity it wasn't publicised on here either. However, now that we have had two examples from TPP's getting it, and having recently also had my birthday and not deliberately booking to benefit

Personal opinion. A nice new benefit to offer, for which we should always be grateful these days, but one which I will probably never be able to use as I spend enough time away from home/family as it is so I try and make sure I am at home for my birthday. Still I am sure it will get 'used'. ![]() Last edited by MAN Flyer; 9th May 2018 at 05:56 AM.. |

![]() As I posted previously, it was certainly a lovely and very unexpected surprise. Agree with you that's it's not one I will ever chase. Birthdays at home are worth much more.

Looking back, I think they had already assigned me to F when I checked-in, because I overheard the check-in person consulted her senior on how to issue two boarding passes. But after the consultation, I got one BP for the 2 sectors, which is normal. At that point in time, I thought she was just inexperienced. So, while they have noted me for the upgrade, they will not give me the upgrade BP until I was at the gate; same thing at DME. Presumably, they have to ensure that a revenue F pax would have priority in case she/he turns up very late like some diva at a party. |

![]() Off topic but wondering if anyone had such an experience as QPPS?
I've been QPPS for 3 years and strangely always flew +/- 10 days after my birthday. First year, I received a cake and card, no upgrade from Business (First had empty seat/s). Second year, I received nothing (I was in Economy and Business had empty seat/s). Third year, I received a cake, card and upgrade to Suites from Business. Inconsistent to say the least but it was a nice gesture when it happened. All three flights were at least 3+ hours so not sure why the anomaly except perhaps it depends on the crew and how many L/TPPS had birthdays to celebrate on the same flight too ![]() Last edited by jonleong; 18th September 2014 at 04:13 PM..

![]() That sounds rather unlikely but if it did happen it can't have been part of this programme. |

![]() Oops, typo. Was from Business to Suites. Think there were 2 empty seats in Suites. The HKG flights have always been kind to me as I'd been moved up to Business from Economy twice now due to overbooking. Just last month the guy behind me in Business got bumped up to Suites for the same reason.

It did happen but not from Economy to Suites, it was Business to Suites. Definitely not part of this programme as I'm not even L/TPPS. |

![]() The purpose of my sharing was to ask if SQ does anything for normal PPS members or is it based on luck like my experiences?
Come to think of it, perhaps my upgrade to Suites in HKG was because of overbooking rather than my birthday given that most of my flights to/from HKG have always been pretty much full ... |

![]() Another nice benefit for TPPS/LPPS even though it is nothing new for other airlines' top tier FFP levels (CX Diamond etc).
![]() Glad this is now happening. I also wonder what should happen for pax already in F/R. They should not miss out IMHO, having paid for a higher class of service. ![]() |
