I'm Krisflyer Gold, in case that makes an ounce of difference
stay hopeful, but it really won’t make a difference. I travelled F recently (cash ticket) from FRA-SIN (SQ25) and SIN-MEL (777) both were full, but, there were standbys on both aircraft, with the purser in both flight saying they had empty seats despite award space being blocked. The skies are just too busy at the moment.
