You confirm that theres only 1 seat per flight and then state you booked 2 seats on 2 flights. Please explain how to get around the 1 seat / flight restriction.

The switch occurs on 3/26, so I wouldn't bank on it

If yours is not a stopover is there anyway to book like you did a fee for a stopover as opposed to an extra 31K points?

Was that with a stopover in SIN? If so how did you do that with a Saver? I want to the same as yourself with a stopover in SIN and am having to book 2 seperate Saver trips for a total of 95K.

I need to be in PEK on Mar 29 and PVG May 5 respectively. I can get F Saver on 773 ex MEL connecting with 77W into PEK and PVG - or I can take Suite Saver on 380 MEL-SIN then Suite Saver SIN-HKG - yes I must buy additional flt HKG-PEK/PVG but thats cool - MEL-SIN-HKG Suite Saver 63,750 is a bargain IMHO.

It appears once 1 x Suite Saver redeemed per flt then you must book Standard Suite redemption to get 2 Suites on same flt.

Thanks Cruiser Elite for the clarification. I agree it really is a bargain that I can see being used by everyone as soon as more people are aware of it.
Just hope the service doesn't go down in the Suites if they are all full, they start cost cutting due to all the redemptions (ie. no more Dom, etc) and SQ doesnt pull the Saver awards on these seats.
However the fact that as you said there is only 1 Saver seat available per flight could alleiviate this anyway.

I find SQ's decision kind of ridiculous -- one Saver award R for each A380?? SQ's biz reasons for doing this are transparent: (1) biz travelers don't redeem awards for biz trips (2) leisure travelers usually don't travel alone, so (3) these saver awards are likely for travelers with a ridiculous mileage bank (1 saver, 1 standard R award = roughly 500k miles) or can afford to purchase at least one R ticket for leisure travel (1 saver, 1 $14k ticket). Or a third option: they are for any spouses who accompany a spouse on a biz trip.
SQ should have at least 2 saver awards. I know they used to have none, but that was as useful to me as having just one.

Booked SQ25 JFK>SIN this Friday in Saver Suites. I travel alone on my own nickel and have a lot of miles so this is a nice change. Understand though how it would not be so useful for others.

That's great news. Saver Awards are now indeed also available for LAX/SFO/JFK. They were blocked in the beginning and only Standard Awards were available.

Better paying 270,000 miles from SIN-USA rather than 2 million miles in Suites one way!
