Singapore Airlines January 24, 2019 Devaluation
« on: January 02, 2019, 11:27:29 PM »
Didn't go through everything yet, but one thing I noticed is that waitlist either clears or cancels 14 days prior to departure. Looks like no more waitlist on awards to last moment.

Many destination pairs aren't on the chart!!!! (probably for when Star Alliance redemptions rather than pure SQ metal are involved, though intra-Europe non-stops are on the chart)

I believe JFK-SIN high level F goes down. Other changes are minor.

Inability to waitlist an award within 14 days isn't so minor. SQ waitlists have been extremely useful.

How about not publishing certain region pairs?

Waitlist sounds cool in theory but very rarely clears.

I think the new chart is only for SQ metal

Cleared for me when I needed a few times. There are reports out there that prodding helps.

It has intra-Europe rates - that can't be SQ metal.

They used to have a fifth freedom MAN-MUC. I believe there is still MXP-BCN or something like that.

IAH-MAN they have, I don't think there still is an intra-Europe flight
