There are awards available thats my point and no there is no airline conspiracy to cut award space. The seats in Suites are designed to create revenue for the airline and not meant to reward FrequentFlyers.

Quite true,
Imagine those people that flies constantly for work, racking up miles isn't hard for them.

I cannot assume that you are asking about saver awards, because you were not mentioning it. I also cant assume that you have not enough miles to book an standard award, because you also were not mentioning it.
How many people can afford it is indeed irrelevant, but you could have been one of them who can afford it.

Well even if you are redeeming for standard or full awards still might be better than using another option like Pay with KrisFlyer Miles - or worse just letting them expire.

Is there an easy way to check when my miles expire without calling in to KF? I have done several transfers over time, some smaller and some larger, and I'v cancelled some flights and redeposited, and I'd like to try to figure out when the various chunks expire.
Edit: whoops, found it. There is a link under my miles that I didn't notice before.

Question: I've book an SQ award for SQ J from the USA to SIN, one-way.
I've noticed that SQ has very reasonable change fees. The trip is not for several months, but if I want to change my destination to another SE Asia country that requires the same amount of miles, can I simply do that by keeping the same USA-SIN flight (award avail is now 0) and adding the SIN-XXX flight? I'm guessing it would only cost $12, plus any changes in airport taxes?
I'm questioning it only because it seems too good to be true. $12?!?

Although you've likely already flown by now my advice would still be to run with it!! I was upgrading and they charged us $150 each!!!! Not sure if it's because we booked through air nz website but air nz doesn't charge if you're paying up....as you get more money. I made a bad assumption it would be the same on SQ.

Several countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia, all cost the same number of miles as Singapore when flying out of the US if you do not stopover in SIN (or pay the USD100 supplement, which I haven't tried personally)

Trying to book the following award: PTY-IAD-LAX-HNL-IAD-IAH-BZE with two stopovers, each one at IAD.
They are able to book but they are charging me for a stopover in HNL, when HNL should be the destination. They are saying BZE is the destination... how can I convey this to the phone agents that I should only be paying for one extra stopover?

A quick question about re-qualifying for KF Gold. My membership will expire on 28 Feb and I'm about 9,000 miles short. However, tomorrow (24 Feb) on LH and on Friday (27 Feb) on SQ I will do the flights that will just take me across the 50,000 mark.
I wondered whether what counts is when those miles are booked in or the dates I actually flew them? Cause if its when the book in I might be in trouble.
