Interesting. When I entered the code on my mobile app, I actually saw a very different set of offers - Wellington, Dusseldorf, Stockholm, and Canberra, all in Y.

It might conceivably be true, because the price for Wellington in Y in my screen is 770 SGD.

Best of luck - hope you can book it at the advertised prices!

Error

It's too good to be true. Definitely a mistake fare that sq will not honour.

sq facebook has acknowledged the published error on their end. I've just received their updated email with the updated promo fares.

The US and Europe fares are definitely errors. They certainly won't be honoured, assuming they're even bookable.

Yup, LAX is 5,299S$ per person with requirement for min 2 people to travel together ( can also be 4, 6, 8, etc. ) I Still not a bad fare for SQ.

These do look too good to be true. Then again I did buy a SOF-FRA-SIN R/T in Business Class for just under 1,300€ R/T

Fare is per person. Here's the fine print:

Of course it is, SIA calls this "two to travel" and it means two or four or six etc. need to book together each paying that price. I take your point though that it may not be clear to everyone.

Completely wrong you mean. "5,299S$ for two to travel" can only be interpreted in one way. The actual cost is double that. You can't pay that amount and travel to LAX either alone or with another person. Pretty straightforward.

Of course, you are right. Thanks for correcting my misleading info. I have updated my original post to be clearer and hope it is up to scratch now. Much appreciated. Cheers

Most Singaporeans are quite familiar with these fares, and it just means min. 2 travelers to book the special promo fares.
And it doesn't have to be in multiples of 2's, it can also be 3, 5, 7, etc. (up to a max. of 9 travelers in one booking)
