Guys, I do have another question with regards to flying to TG. Like I mentioned, I'm flying TG to Auckland via BKK.
According to SQ's Accrual Calculator, the mileage accrual would be as follows;
SIN - AKL - SIN --> 5227 x 2 = 10454 (Excluding Bonus Tiers)
However, I do understand that since I'm flying via BKK, and that I'm changing planes, the Accrual Calculation will now be as follows;
SIN - BKK --> 880
BKK - AKL --> 5939
As such, the total SIN - BKK - AKL - BKK - SIN --> (5939 + 880) x 2 = 13636?
Would need your help to advise if my mileage accrual would actually be 10454 or 13636?
Also, is it true that mileage for non-direct flights that does not require a plane change (for example, SIN - BKK - NRT) will only clock as SIN - NRT miles as opposed to SIN - BKK Miles + BKK to NRT Miles?
However, non-direct flights that require a plane change (assuming SIN - NRT - LAX??) will clock SIN - NRT + NRT to LAX Miles?Life's A Bitch,

Inix - the miles you will get will be according to your boarding pass - if your boarding pass says SIN - AKL, that is the miles you will get. If you get two boarding passes (SIN - BKK and BKK - AKL), that is the miles you will get.
So in this case, I would say you will get 13636 miles.matt_will_fix_it

So for example if you're ticketed on SQ12 SIN-(NRT)-LAX, you'd only receive miles as if you've flown SIN-LAX directly. If you're flying SIN-NRT-LAX with different flight numbers for SIN-NRT and NRT-LAX or stopping over in NRT, you'd receive miles for both SIN-NRT and NRT-LAX.Last edited by KeithMEL; 11 May 2008, 10:56 PM.All opinions shared are my own, and are not necessarily those of my employer or any other organisation of which I'm affiliated to.

Am thinking of jumping ship to the TG program since it seems to be more Y class friendly than SQ. I have gold card with SQ having moved from UA but the separate lounges in SIN really get up my nose!

TG ROP is not that attractive to me and i fly MEL-BKK return every month. The W and V class fares will go to 0 miles in July in ROP (already 0 in KF). You will have to fly a minimum of Q class to earn anything on TG flights. There goes your 500 miles on TG domestic sectors for the cheap tix.
At least with KF on SQ flights on the cheapest fare ex-aus there is always 100% mileage accrual and 25% tier bonus for silver and up. The downsides are there is no upgrade cert's and elite is valid for 12 months only but that doesn't worry me as i fly 50k a year anyway. Now i book J class on TG domestic for about $50 more and accrue on KF. I stick to SQ as much as I can - the Q class on TG mel/bkk is now $1230AU and SQ is usually between $1150 and $1250 for W class. For the same price i rather take the 25% bonus and 15% online reduction in points for award bookings. Plus the SQ website is lovely to use for most functions.
There are pros and cons to all programs thoughMy SQ and flying Videos: Youtube My Travel Blog: AussieFlyer.net

With TG, after tax, I'm expected to pay around S$1.3K, but with SQ, I can only start dreaming of flying @ S$1.6K. I can only claim miles if I'm flying for the Q Class Fare, at S$1.8K... SIGH..Life's A Bitch,
