Non existent. Star Alliance awards in premium cabins on SQ are not available, only economy.

There is actually currently J class availability between SYD <> SIN on the A380, some other A380/77W routes reported bookable too.

Definitely no F / Suites or SIN <> LHR availability though.

ADL on the Airbus A333 will be easy to get.

Can ANA see these flights? I had a look after my earlier post and there was not one day on which there was availability for 2 people in business ADL - SIN in the last 10 days of May 2012, returning in the first couple of weeks of July. Or is it too soon to see these flights?

Shouldn't be too soon, maybe there just isn't availability for 2.

I would use Aeroplan though, ANA does block some SQ inventory even when it's available - although I thought they only did it with 380, 345 & 77W flights.

Stand corrected on this one.

I guess the problem with ADL is that there is no other *A carrier, namely TG.

Mind you, BNE doesn't look too available either but there is availability for 2 on some days.

ps. I'm flying tomorrow!

I would check the Gla-Lhr part as I believe Bmi stopped flying this route due to costs. Your now stuck with British airways.

What would be the chance of upgrading from a business class seat to 1st when you check in using your reward miles?

Traveling with Thai, Brisbane to Manchester.
I know there is no 1st on the BNE>BKK leg of the trip!

I'm just wondering if it is possible at check in.

Or, is there another way to do it?

Keef ;o)

The only way to do it is to hand over the cash...definitely not possible using Dividend Miles.

Just had my first TG First class experience...it was exceptional, really fantastic.

In no particular order it looks like this.

Have done Thai a couple of times now. Quite consistent in First. Am
slumming it" back on Virgin Upper Class in a couple of weeks. No caviar but at least you can get get into the only lounge at Heathrow worth going into.

I don't have any photos of the spa but needless to say the 1 hour oil massage was had, complete with embarassing, sir, you're not wearing any undies moment!
