I have never cleared the SIN-JFK flight in Suites. I have made about 9 bookings so far, ranging from 1-2 Suites, and all the flights were R9/F9 24 hour prior to departure.

I would say if it is not available right now, you don't have a chance.

My flight would be FRA-JFK, not SIN-JFK

Can you book an economy/business saver award flight and then waitlist for the suites upgrade?

Anyone have luck getting 1 Suites seat to clear on the SIN-LHR route for midweek flight 5 months out? I can see two seats but need the third for my child.

Is it better to book 2 and WL 1 or WL all 3?

I never had any issue of having the ticketing deadline extended due to one sector still being waitlisted.

Just call and ask for extension

and at the same time, ask them to send a note to release the remaining waitlisted flight.

If the cabin has space, it will clear within the week.

Call SQ to remind and chase helps.
