Three things:
(1) You may well need to be up in the middle of the night to grab the outbound seats online for busy routes.
(2) You will need to call up to add the return. Check for availability online then call up whichever BAEC call centre is open at the time. Not always advisable to wait for UK to open.
(3) If you have to be back in 20 days I would try for 18, 19, 20 days just to be sure. You don't want to only aim for a precise date and miss out. When I booked for HKG I had a +1 and -1 day in mind too. Track availability in the few days (or more) ahead too.
I'm looking to get to Singapore in F
So based on the above, do I use my Amex 241 to book 2x one ways to Singapore and then call up the Gold Line and then book my return legs?
If so, can I do this immediately after I've booked my outbound flights, or do I need to wait the 355 days to call them once the flights are released and cross my fingers that I can get the returns flights?
