Do you need to be fully vaccinated to fly Singapore? JFK-FRA flight says its a VTL flight?

What does an infant cost on these F awards? And how are they booked? By calling after doing the online booking?

Singapore charges 10% of the adult revenue fare for a lap infant, which would mean $650 one-way to Europe or more than $700 on the way back.

I got through to them in under a half hour twice last night on the regular number.

i ended up waiting on hold for 2 hours and it took the agent 1 full hour to make a simple booking that kept in erroring out online

Having trouble booking United saver award on KF, is it only me? Something wrong with the site?

[tov hashem]

My Singapore account is under audit due to mismatch names from point transfer. Tickets seems fine on Singapore metal.  Do I need to do anything?

[tov hashem]

interesting point what I realized.  if you go to manage booking on the website you can't change seats, however if you google to rerquest your meals and then put in your booking info (even before a week of your flight) you have the all the options there.

1) what’s the difference between saver and advantage? Seems there is  something about stopovers but not for sure what it means

2) what’s waitlist? Does that mean that you’re on a standby list or does it mean you’re on a waitlist for Singapore to open up seats? If you don’t end up getting it do you lose miles?

Bump anyone able to help?

Update - after hours of waiting for a rep he confirmed it was not NOT canceled and he had to do it manually. He waived the 75$ fee too and i got the miles back right away

The international community is increasingly isolating Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The latest example is Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. rerouting its New York-Hong Kong flight away from Russian airspace, making it the world's longest commercial passenger flight by distance.

According to a Cathay memo sent to flight staff and seen by Bloomberg, the New York-Hong Kong flight, using Airbus SE's A350-1000, will be rerouted to avoid Russian airspace altogether. The new distance will total 10,326 miles for a 16-17 hour flight versus the old route across Russia that totaled 8,071 miles and take about 15 hours.

Cathay's new flight will supersede Singapore Airlines Ltd.'s Singapore-New York JFK flight, which was once considered the longest flight in terms of distance.

"Such flight changes are likely to only be temporary given the costs carriers face from high oil prices and uncertainty over the accessibility of Russian airspace," Bloomberg said, adding that other airlines are also rerouting flights away from Russian airspace.

I have a chunk of KrisFlyer miles that are scheduled to expire in Feb 2023 (after many covid extensions).

How can I extend expiration easily? I remember vaguely that Dan had a post on tips to extend mileage expiration for various programs, but I can't locate it on DDMS.

Miles expiring January 2023 through June 2023 will be automatically extended for six months.

Have flights on SQ JFK-SIN, with a 31 hour stopover in SIN, then SIN-BKK.  Will I have the option of picking up my luggage in SIN or will it be checked all the way through to BKK?

24 hours+ you have to take your luggage.
