All the flights I want (MEL-SIN, SIN-MLE, MLE-SIN, SIN-MEL) are on waitlist, and I can't even get the online system to accept it because I can only waitlist one flight on the whole ticket online.

Given I have to call in, is it possible for them to put the ticket together with the $100 stopover fee to waitlist those four flights (MEL-SIN, SIN-MLE, MLE-SIN, SIN-MEL) AND book four confirmed segments at the same time? I can find those flights with confirmed saver space but not at a time I want, hence I wish to waitlist all of them but still ticket the four confirmed segments if able.

Is that possible? If not can I book the one stopover in SIN online first as a confirmed ticket and call up and ask the agent to add the other waitlist flight I have in mind? Can I have multiple waitlist flight under the same booking?

You can have multiple waitlists.

No, they haven't ticketed the flights yet because depending on how the waitlist goes, one of the stopover in SIN might become a transit and hence wouldn't require the $100USD fee for the additional stopover. So I cannot tell from the mile deduction as to whether it is booked under saver or advantage as no miles are deducted yet.

I received the itinerary and they have also extended the ticketing deadline to early March to wait for those waitlist to clear (or otherwise).

Still a SQ newbie, should I follow up on the saver vs advantage with SQ or (I) class means saver? I tried to google it but couldn't find anything.

$10 isn't a big deal for flying SQ F, but I'm curious what the correct amount is.

Edit: Last week they charge me 25USD for the change.

On another matter, how much should BKK-SIN-SFO in I/O cost? They had taken out 95k miles for the redemption in I-class, and then they took out an additional 56,500 miles to confirm SIN-SFO in O-class?

I thought it was 130k?

It looks like they charged me the J redemption cost from BKK-SIN and then the F redemption cost from SIN-SFO. Shouldn't I just have too pay the F redemption cost from BKK-SFO?
