  • What are the different classes

    Sorry for my ignorance on this subject, however reading through the texts in all forums there are a lot of abbreviations flying about. Being a new person to this forum a lot of people are talking about F, J, C and other classes I am assuming. Is there a list on here where I can read up and understand some of the lingo lol.

    Thanking you kindly

        Suite bookings can be booked on R, F & P fare codes, R earns 300% of miles flown and F & P 150%.

          The codes above are perhaps general IATA class codes.
          There could be variations for SQ.
          For example, for Business Class, Z for SQ is the highest fare, followed by C, then J, then D.

            I wonder if this can be changed so that we can earn more miles rather than 150%. I did pay full fare and cash for this flight would that make any difference?????

              Sure - just ask the your travel agent to "upsell" you from your P class ticket to an R class ticket, and pay the fare difference. You'll get precisely the same seat and service for more money.

              Get the quote, and do the math. Bear in mind that you can effectively buy Krisflyer miles for 40 USD/1000. I haven't worked it out, but i think you may find it not particularly worthwhile. You'll get around 11,250 more miles round trip a head flying in "R" class instead of "P", so the fare difference shouldn't exceed 440 USD. If it does, it's a dud.

                  It's simple - your Travel agent is looking out for you. P and R will BOTH book into suites, but at different prices. I'd pay P and pocket the difference and STILL enjoy suites and spend it on something else instead.

                    The first time an SQ res agent told me that I would need to pay a SGD100 fare difference to get a C-class seat since J-class was sold out with waitlists closed, i thought she was pulling my leg.

                    I dunno why SQ reversed the IATA sequence for business fares cuz with other airlines like AC, for example, Z-class is indeed an executive first/business-class discounted fare.
