What you mean by ”holding the U seat”? If you have a confirmed seat on day1 and you change to day2 (with U available) there’s no need to ”hold” anything?

OK, of course if the U bucket is taken just minutes/seconds before the agent changes the base ticket…sure, but that risk is rather small, I’d say?
Some risk with everything I guess, ”life’s a bi*** and then you die” -said someone much wiser than me😎

How do you go about changing a destination on your ticket? Under what circumstances is that allowed (without extra payment)? I'm asking because I have a ticket where there has been a significant schedule change and would like to change the destination, but apparently they don't allow it anymore as a rule.

I've been monitoring HEL-SIN/BKK for weeks. U seats come and go pretty fast.

Usually when I’ve snapped instant U to SIN I’ve booked >6 months in advance, sometimes even full 11.. you can get lucky, as many do, but it’s hard to find confirmed seats and that’s why many hate it, especially those of us who’d rather stay home than fly in whY to SIN..
SIN is also the route to/from Down Under plus it gets lots of non Finnish pax, all over Europe and also from the US.

Yes, SIN is traditionally _the_ toughest, indeed. Aug/Sep… ok so that is still ”normal” award availability and not within the 60d waitlist window (if it works as we’ve been told).

I’m working on a bit similar dilemma, I grabbed PE Flex out / J in to SIN (J on the outbound was astronomically expensive…) and waitlisting for the the PE->J upgrade..not having my hopes high and have started the mental preparation to fly LH behind the curtain for the first time in years..I really want to take the trip and not very flexible with the dates either so don’t share your luxury there..
