Isn't the SQ availability search re-enable possible on lifemiles via some kind of technical/hack fix by customers? I recall reading a suggestion about that soon after they shut down booking SQ flights via the call centers and mostly via the website.

May I just book a dummy itinerary (without credit card involvement) from TL and then show it to airport counter agent?

I have managed to get a positioning flight for my return in January; LHR-IST-BKK stopover 3 days BKK-RGN- PEK; Booked with miles diamond club. Dont ask me why i had to have the last sector! IT was the only way they would let me do it at the time: I want to drop it and just stay in RGN for a few days. BMI having left star wont touch the booking and let me drop the rgn-pek sector. It connects 5 hrs later from RGN; I know i can just not turn up for the rgn-pek flight ; handluggage only but will they want to see a chinese visa in BKK; i will have a myanmar one of course. BKK to rgn is on tg business and rgn to pek china air economy. I could always buy a cheap air asia safety net ticket from bkk to rgn i guess? what would you do??? TX
GET A CHINESE VISA... and then throw it away along with the flight.

I received a compenstation offer from Thai Airways 500 USD per ticket. Is that good offer for a cancelled Thay Airways ticket from RGN to USA and South America?
In this letter TG told me that not TG cancelled my flight, but a local office. The local office told me that they had to do this commissioned by TG.. Strange..

Does it have to be actual (refundable) ticket? In other words, will airport counter agent actually verify if my onward ticket (e.g., PEK-NRT) is valid and then decide to ask me for Chinese visa or not?

It's their Standard compensation I guess. There won't be more. Either it is acceptable for you and you take it or have the DOT intervene.

Round 2 is the middle child that is getting neglected now between the Rounds 1 & 3. I think it's good to fly under the radar.
Hope to see a trip report on the ANA Business Jet shortly. Who's going to be first?
