BKK-SIN is usually a pretty easy route for awards . . . do you see any other options available?
Yesterday when I booked, it showed a possibility for an SQ-flight (on a 330) 1 hour and 45 mins later as well. That would be an option, but would prefer to try the new Thai business class on the 350-900. Also, to take a later flight out of BKK would give me less time in Singapore, so I would not have enough time to go to the city. All in all, it would spoil my plans a bit.
Just checked availablity on the BKK-SIN segment.Tried it on the SAS (SK) website just to see if it would show anything similar.
- The TG-flight I am waitlisted for) is showing 1 open seat in business
- Later flights (SQ/TG) has lots of available seats in business, so shouldn't be a problem to get on a later flight.
