Booked on Friday TLV-FRA-JFK in LH/SQ I class (overnight in FRA) for 57.5k SQ, and $420 SGD = $346 in taxes

Is that any special value, or is it just the SQ aspect which makes it cool?

I'd rather take UA F FRA-NYC and save $300.

No UA F FRA-EWR

meshugener · « **Reply #184 on:** April 28, 2013, 03:24:15 PM »

I thought since they service EWR-FRA in F, it should be the other way around as well.

Never been in SQ J, but $300 is $300....

They dont have F EWR-FRA as well, its a sCO acft, not a sUA.

Do you mean IAD-FRA on UA? That has F

Plus a night in Hotel as its a overnight stop... (but UA as well as they are early flights)

just saw that Virgin Atlantic is partners w/ Cyprus Air, and TLV to Cyprus is 5k VA miles (I assume this is OW)
Would be interested in knowing the YQ on this, if any, but it could be a great value for a nearby vacation.

Tried to do a booking ZRH-LCA-TLV, 1st rep you cant do a booking with CY, only earn.... Next rep said has to be requested 2 weeks in advance (as well for all partners)

Booked on Friday TLV-FRA-JFK in LH/SQ I class (overnight in FRA) for 57.5k SQ, and $420 SGD = $346 in taxes

Had to cancel the flight -24, (2 tickets out of 2 separates accts). Called SQ (twice, as its 2 accts) to cancel, was told miles will be redeposited and taxes less 30USD will be refunded. As of today 9pm, none where back yet. (canceled motzai shabbos).

Today at 10:30pm I get a call from SQ, that do that he flight was canceled -24, there are charging me +$75 cancelation fee. Due to the fact that I had 2% battery in my phone, I let it thru.

Is there a way to fight it out now (actually tomorrow morning)? Phone/eMail/Twitter? What should I write?

Anyone want to analyze using LAN vs. BA from TLV?
Looks like LAN will often be a better deal for the Europe flights, but I haven't done an analysis yet.
