![]() Hello all. I've been quite out of touch with KF (Even tho miles are being accumulated) and I received the above email a while ago. Can anyone clarify the point about waitilisting for redemption flights will be available up to 3 weeks before departure bit?
I checked the FAQ (extracted below) - what was the 'before' state prior to this announcement? Quote:

Now — they will tell you 2 weeks before flight departure whether your waitlist is successful or not. If not successful, it will be cancelled n you can make alternative arrangements. But I think they will still allow new waitlist within 2 weeks of departures after old waitlist are cancelled. (Thus if your waitlist is cancel, you can place new one. But chance are small). I might be wrong. It will be weird if SQ does not allow new waitlist within 2 weeks. |

![]() hi all, apologies if this isn't the correct thread, but do u guys usually redeem round trip award tickets? what if I only have enough miles for one way? Full service airlines usually charge a lot for one-way revenue tickets

![]() Buy the return in another airlines or take budget back.
I recently did that for a trip to Japan. Went with MH and returned with an award ticket. |

![]() SQ's mileage redemption rates are all one-way only. It can be difficult to get redemption for one leg of a trip, let alone both ways. I don't believe any airline disallows one-way redemptions. It's not the same as revenue, commercial bookings where a one-way ticket is usually more expensive.

There is still possibility to do saver waitlist within 14 days (but only for 2 tickets n above). For example , if there is only one saver seat available for immediate confirmation n you need 2 seats, you should be able to place a saver waitlistfor 2. But whether it will clear or not we won’t know. |

![]() The ability to process upgrades (or even proactively offer them to travelers) is something SQ definitely wants to do (seems some system limitations hamper this, not certain).
LH has had it for years and years and I often got asked at check in if I wanted to use my miles to upgrade. Now often this happened in situations where I had an inkling that my booked class of service was oversold so I usually declined and maybe 50% of the time still got a free op up. Anyways, these upgrades if accepted can be easily processed at check in (for LHs case). That should be the way it gets implemented at SIA as well. |
