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.

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.
You may get the impression in this thread that there is an automatism that you will recieve an MySQupgrade offer if laodfactor is low and you purchased an eligible fare. As a regular SQ flyer I can assure you that these offers are quite random and I for myself cant remember when I recieved such a mail during the past 2-3 years (doing approx. 40 SQ sectors per year). Iam not really sure what their algorithm is to determine this. I personaaly would not speculate on recieving an offer when I book a ticket simply for that reason. Rather save the bucks.

Duly noted SQ325 and going forward, I will avoid using SQ in the future.

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 .

Just for clarity - the amount was a fixed and confirmed upgrade, rather than a bid?

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.
