Ok for those that have flew on the Singapore quotes, particularly the SIN—JFK route, is it ‘worth it to splurge 675k miles to fly one way (3 seats)?!? That would deplete 90% of my current pts (Chase, Amex & Citi). I could try the Saver waitlist but that’s no guarantee & since we are traveling with an infant, last minute planning/booking is unlikely. There’s opening at the Advantage (regular) about 10-11 months out. This is likely the only way to be sure of securing the 3 seats. We normally just pursue business class but the idea of flying 1st class once is tempting! What would you do? Or is there another 1st class/suites you would recommend (preferably for a route that’s at least 13-14 hours in flight duration so to fully enjoy it). Thanks for your input!

if your child is an infant (less than 2 years old) at time of travel, go for the 2 adult seats and then call up and add your baby onto same ticket with a paid fare. You only have to pay 10% of cost of ticket which is probably less value than the points.

thanks Mlee888, but won’t be lap as child will be two. Thx for the input!

thanks mach92, that’s a great idea! But how’s LH’s availability in F on awards redemption though (need 3 seats). And what’s reason you’re not a fan of Singapore suites (but you still flown it 4x?!)?

Have you looked at availability of saver awards? You might get one or two seats and what you can’t get using saver as advantage awards. Would have to call to link the bookings.

Thanks both for the great ideas! Will look into that as another alternative!!

Thanks alanslegal! Thx for the tips—will def do that! Thx for the confirmation it’s worth it! Now my only concern is, if I find and book 1 or 2 at saver but not the 3rd in standard, will I be able to cancel the saver seats and have all pts refunded?

You can cancel for $75 USD per passenger. The other option is to call and book - they may charge a $25USD fee per pax, but as you can’t make the combined booking online they may waive it if asked.

[QUOTE=cbourl;30307004] @cbourl & alanslegal - you both have very good pts!! I’ve never flown F so even at a decade old, I’m pretty sure we will enjoy it (we loved BR J so I can image we’ll also love SQ F)! And yes it’s a lot of pts, thus I asked for all your expert insight. I didn’t know TG has a highly rated F? Does both their J & F considered top premium products? Excuse my ignorance, I only started the points and miles late 2016 when the CSR came out and have only flown BR J (SQ short haul) as premium cabins are concerned. We are looking to fly to South Asia again next year (from JFK). Of course we would love to try some of the top products, but as we are traveling as 3, awards availablity is also a concern. Many thanks again for your feed backs!
