Did you hear just SIN-FRA or also FRA-JFK and return in F?

What MPM did agent give you and he/she confirm CMB as POT?

Agree as lcohen999 mentioned.

Agree. One caution on bulkheads is proximity to galleys so can get busy as well as light and noise could be an issue on this long flight.

Hello Mileage King i dont know how to do quotes so apologies if this is a jumble.

SQ F mentioned here https://youhavebeenupgraded.boarding...utsche%20Blogs

I am not sure if they determine my POT to be Columbo but i would have thought it was. She said MPM in old system was circa 20k and my route was 21k but that could be wrong. Any thoughts on what to change or say when i call back. Is it possible that because someone else booked yyc-den-ord-ewr-sin-cmb as a one way it would work versus round trip?

Thank you

YYC009

Agent could not book YYC-DEN-ORD-EWR-SIN-CMB on the phone. Said there was no space in I class on the EWR-SIN leg. HUCA. Same thing. Online still shows as available. Booked EWR-SIN online and then had agent change the ticket to add the segments 'that couldn't be booked online'.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Not sure what circa 20k vs 21k means. Did a quick google search and couldn't find anything, maybe some experts here can weigh in.

YYC009 may have booked as one-way, however I don't believe that should matter as I have been able to book few return itineraries.

Aeroplan changed systems and agents are now more restricted to book multi segment itineraries. Having said this, I booked one 10 segment trip last year for travel earlier this year, which I had to cancel due to COVID-19. Also booked three multi-city roundtrips last week and they all included EWR-SIN-EWR segments. MPM that agent gave reluctantly gave me, matched what I showed. All three bookings were slightly below MPM (however borderline). On one itinerary, agent couldn't see availability on SIN-EWR segment, even though Aeroplan website showed available. I booked that segment separately on website at 77,500 miles while agent was still on phone, gave him PNR and he worked with ticketing folks to include that segment and also refunded 77,500 back to my account.

If you do call back, maybe insist with agent that trip should be within MPM (YYC-CMB MPM noted earlier in thread). Once agent is aligned that routing is valid, then you can go through confirming availability for each segment. If there is one segment that agent does not see but you are able to book separately on Aeroplan's website, let agent know you can book and give her separate PNR he/she can work with ticketing to merge as well as refund that separate segment miles back in your account.

I know it's a pain and fact you'll spend more time on phone, but could be worthwhile if successful. Good luck and keep us posted.

Just to add, going YYZ EWR SIN KUL, same return, all in bizo for 131.31 each, it works out to be around a 98% discount...not a bad deal at all!

Seems at least some of this is phantom - getting an error when I try to actually book a LAX-SIN leg that shows as available.

Managed to book a different date though (LAX-SIN for 2 in January). Thanks OP for the heads up!

I thought it was strange that Singapore offers no PJs. The reason given for this s that, in the airlin3s experience, the majority of people don’t use them....

Since I bought my SQ F and J flights via Aeroplan, i'll reply here

There are a number of threads on the SQ forum and elsewhere where people either asked why no PJs or complained.

One of the answers posted was along the lines of "I'd rather SQ continue to offer the best meals and service than waste money on PJs".

I agree. Slipper are always given in J even on intra-Asia. In the lav, there are various amenities. As for PJ's, the Lalique ones and full and fancy amenities and kits I received on SQ F were not really up there compared to the LH F, NH F for sure and also BR J.

Either way, I would also want AC to provide better quality slippers on TPAC or better quality eye-shades, but I'd rather airlines spend less on this stuff and more on the cabin and fight experience. In fact, BR J and NH J and F have all the things one needs available in the lavs on the counter. LX even had some items on the counter in their lavs on TATL.

Food over jammies every time for me. Especially when I can book the cook.

Why not have both? BR does. And better booze too.

On EWR flights, SQ offers create your own kit experience in which pax can select amenities they want and put them in a SQ logo zipper bag.

I travel with carryon only (can't remember last time I checked a bag) and when flying long haul and before boarding, I would already be in comfy clothing meant for traveling which I can sleep in, as well as have extra set of clothes to change into before arrival.

Agree, better in-flight and meal service anytime over PJs (although similar to 24left, I have to say I love my SQ F PJ and NH F PJs & Cardigan . I have flown TPAC & TATL on AC, SQ, NH, TG, OZ, LX, LH and TK but not on BR (only short intra-Asia flights). Based on some of the comments here, I need to try BR long-haul.

Booked - thank you so much OP for sharing this deal!

Sorry, but 18 hours in J is too long for me. The max I would do in J is 12 hours. However I did 16 hours in CX and JL F

So give me F or I'll have to create a stopover somewhere on the way.

All about perspective I guess, as a survivor of a 16 hour flight on AC in economy even 18 hours in J sounds like a god-send to me
