CX, I hear, is quite consistent in releasing F awards when it's clear that the inventory is going stale.
Your best bet for SQ is at the opening of the booking window, but even then the JFK route is notoriously difficult to snag.
Yeah thanks for confirming my suspicion. CX for me was a breeze to book. It looks like SQ F will take some planning. Maybe i'll look from SIN > FRA > JFK.
Do you have to find availability for both legs if you are booking a one way saver or I guess you can waitlist one leg and potentially be stranded?
Thank you!
