Update: Both middle seats were occupied by a couple + a mother with a child. I have to say SQ R is wow! We were still able to sit together pre departure as there is a place to sit for a second pax in each suite. Moreover, the past week I was swamped at work and I didn't even get a chance to book our Venice and Rome hotels, so I will be able to do it now without her interruption.   ;)

If a KrisFlyer partner award is cancelled and the miles are redeposited, do they assume an expiration date based off the original date they were earned, or the date of redeposit?

If it's the latter, then there's an obvious loophole to an impending expiration of miles. Though I'm not getting my hopes up.

Waiting forever.... They insist that I use the callback feature. This is worse thanBA.
May have to use UAL instead...

I waited for 30-40 min on hold.
There was only 1 seat available so I couldn't risk it.

Does it make sense that SQ charged me S$32.20 in taxes for this flight?

I belive it's the transportation tax, and the currency exchange is a little different then the matrix upload.
ETA : over the phone booking fee.
If u work for a living, why kill urself working?

Confirmed, they charged US+AY.

Is this consistent with their normal practice?

Has anyone booked SQ R ex-TLV, how did you book TLV-FRA?
LH (fake) J for an additional 17,625 SQ + YQ (same ticket)?
LH Y for 25k UA (seperate ticket)?
LY Y/J (seperate ticket)?

Other options?
