Hi only SIA
In the case of the flight from SIN to HKG, I assure you that business class was 15% full. As previously mentioned, not an airline that I regularly take, so not an issue for me and certainly wasn't very impressed with the cleanliness of the aircraft.

After my horrible experience at trying to achieve MySQupgrade, I believe that Singapore Airlines should become more transparent to inform their guests, which booking class(es) and route(s) which will receive an upgrade. Paying a full fare Economy (Y) class from ICN to SIN and then Premium Economy (S) class from SIN to HKG and those fares being ineligible is shocking. Furthermore, if one can only learn of the ineligibility of the fare classes after reserving the flights, then Singapore Airlines should allow one to cancel their ticket within 24 hours of reserving the flights.

Selling upgrades to F / Suites - that's a new one. I guess the monetization has reached all cabins now. To be fair, some of the ME3s have been doing this for years. May make outright redemptions and mileage upgrades for F / Suites even more challenging. I'm going out on a limb here and assume cash will beat miles .

660 CNY Accepted for SIN-PEK from Y to Y+ (bid accepted -48hrs). Mileage credited to OZ was according to original Y class fare and not upgraded P booking class :'-(

This is usual in my experience of other airlines with such bidding schemes - you only earn into the original fare class, not that of the upgraded cabin.

Just placed a the minimum bid of 180 USD for an upcoming flight on SQ917. Y to C.
Was a ticket bought via an OTA but I had it reissued with a different date at 70 USD via KF call center. Original flight did not receive the upgrade bid email.
Will update if I do get it.

Y to J on 787
Im flying to Bali next month on SQ due to a stop in SG I have to make. Basically have Y+ ticket but SIN-DPS is in M class as only Y/J is the cabins on the 787. Whats the chance an upgrade bid of A$250 would go through? I was able to place it a few weeks back and out of all my flights its the only one I could upgrade too. Max upgrade possible is A$400.
