  • business saver redemption on a380/777

    Notice I can't book a business saver redemption to london/paris, only economy saver or business full. I can only book business saver for the 747 to FRA.

    has this always been the case?

    No business savers are offered on A380 and 77W. Has always been the case.

          All is not lost...you could redeem roundtrip in Biz on Star Alliance carriers for the 120K albeit no 15% discount

            Sorry for another newbie question. Can I redeem one way (i dont require a return) business saver on star alliance carriers for 60,000 Kris flyer miles?
            If so, I should go to the SQ office to redeem right? Thanks!

              Yes, you can book 1-way. You can call Krisflyer, no need to go to SQ office.

                IMO, Not worth it to redeem economy savers if you can afford biz savers. Consider the price difference in Y and J classes between commercial paid tickets and redemption point requirements.

                There is also nothing wrong with biz savers to AMS or FRA on SQ. It is still a decent product. It is also cheaper with 15% discount. And for FRA, they may change the plane in the near future. You can then get cheap flights to your final destination.

                  Thanks for the suggestion, really appreciate it! I do have enough milea for business saver, however, my final destination is Leeds, England. I did consider booking SIN-CPH, SIN-FRA or SIN-AMS on sq business saver but the plane/eurail tickets are in excess of €300 to Leeds/Manchester/London :X

                    Star redemption costs more than SQ's and it allows 2 transit stops so route so you should maximize by routing it to end as near as possible to your final destination.

                      Thanks! I was thinking SIN-ICN-LHR on asiana. Oh well, next time!

                        I have been wondering if a SIN-Europe routing via North Asia will be allowed.
                        Let us know.

                          Curious... which Star Alliance partner airlines are good choices for SIN-LHR for J redemption?

                              curious to know this too! I was thinking LH, LX, OZ and TG? With OZ being advantageous should a free stopover be allowed?
