SQ 'often' sub an older plane ex-MEL do they ?.
it must be obvious to all concerned who use BD miles that the Asian carriers are putting you onto flights that use old equipment or are subject to change. This trend was started by SQ and has been wholeheartedly taken up by all the *A carriers.
What ?.
Are you seriously saying that airlines, be it TG or whoever else you are accusing, are making equipment swaps due to people on that flight having booked with BD miles ?!. What utter bollox. I have seen some nonsensical accusations on here over the last few years, but this is up there with the best ever.
Who has to change are the whingers who pay peanuts and expect that a couple of thousand points will upgrade them into a state of the arts fair dinkum top rated First class, get a life!.
What about those who pay to fly on TG in J and F, or do these 'issues' you clearly have tell you nobody on board TG these days in J and F has paid for a ticket, so equipment swaps are fine ?.
What I don't quite understand though, is which way you want it. You recently claimed that TG are somehow restricting awards to unnamed European FFP(s), now you claim they are swapping to old aircraft if people have booked awards:
The old perk of using an European program for mileage then buying awards on TG is slowly being eroded with TG being fussy about what they give and to whom.
You need to make your mind up which it is to be, and actually provide some evidence of these ridiculous claims. Or maybe consider who it is who needs to get a life.
