Singapore Airlines

What date?

Your quoting an earlier post, that ended up being not true. Somehow SQ had space even though the other *A didn't see it. Funny thing is, when I checked the next day, it was showing on the other *A websites. To answer your question, it's for this Monday.

If I find EWR-SFO in Y and SFO-OGG in J will it ticket the whole thing at 30k OW?

...provided the layover is not more than 4 hours, I don't see why it wouldn't.

Thank you sir.

 Is there ever decent availability from anything other then EWR within NYC for these sort of flights?

[rileywiles23]

I just want to make sure that what the agent did, will actually work ? She confirmed me on a second flight without actually taking more miles for it, while keeping my original flight as well, which essentially is a hold on the second option. So if my third option which is currently waitlisted does mot clear, then I"ll always be able to fall back on the held flight ? Does it make sense that she was able to do that ?

So now i got big issues. When i just called to change the FRA-JFK segment to the earlier flight to EWR, the agent tells me that they cannot just change the second  leg, without cancelling the whole reservation, and rebooking it all, because of married segments, and that I cannot leave the TLV-FRA part, and then go ahead and change the second leg, even though all the reps. I spoke to earlier said I can.
Currently the 3 flights that they confirmed me on are all not available anymore, so if I cancel everything, it's not guaranteed that they will show up again.
Is there anything i can do here ?

HUCA

HUCA

Meaning the change can be done ?
Rep. said she'll try to work it out, and will call me back in about 30 min.

She was able to do it, but I had to pay the redeposit fee instead of the change fee.
I guess she was able to cancel the reservation without losing the award space, and rebook the flights.
I freaked out a bit there, thanks for the encouragement yehoshua.

Yw.  I found that SQ agents vary greatly. One will tell you you need to redeposit while one will say it's just a change. HUCA is key.

I was too nervous, to fight her about the $18. I was just happy that I got it done.

Makes sense. It's only a few $$ difference.

[rileywiles23]

As of now SQ waitlisted me for the earlier TLV-TRA flight, and confirmed for the later flight. I just got off the phone with LH rep. and he told me as long as I am on the waitlist, I can show up at the airport for the earlier flight, and if there is space on the earlier flight, then I can get on.
 Just want to confirm that, this all makes sense, being that i never did this before.

I saw on dansdeals how Singapore airlines  has lower rates on united redemption to Israel so figured I would give it a try, I created an account on Singapore Airlines (kris Flyer account) but when I try to search flights from nyc-tlv it does not have tlv as a destination-what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

No YQ on UA, you can check ITA for other partners, or PUTPAC.
Only saver.
No.

Is there a write-up anywhere for some of the sweet spots of using Singapore?

I believe AJK made a spreadsheet, but I don't remember where it is. Paging TimT.
