RSF: Have you ever flown Singapore Air's "Suite Class"

Starting to wish I didn't have a family, and had three months left to live, so I could justify a splurge on something like this. |

Date: September 30th, 2014 7:10 PM Author: azure blood rage I have. You don't need to splurge dude. Open an AMEX Platinum card with the 100k MR points bonus. You can move MR points to Singapore's FF program at a 1:1 rate. Singapore really only lets you book premium cabin awards with their miles. I think Miles & More members of LH, etc... have some access, but it's blocked to all others. Since it's restricted, the availability is pretty good, especially on a flight like SQ 25/26 which is JFK-FRA-JFK (the flight continues on to and comes from Singapore), but if you just wanted to go one way JFK-FRA for example, when you book online it gives you a 15% discount so it ends up being like 56,000 miles + change each way. With some spend you could easily put together a eurotrip where you fly each way in SQ suites paying only the taxes, which will be a few hundred bucks.

|
Date: September 30th, 2014 7:18 PM Author: azure blood rage I'd say so
S.America: Some routes get TTT AA F, although I have heard they upped their game on their newest 777's, only other F is Awful united to GRU and maybe EZE? and whatever F equipped planes TAM still flies, which are outdated. SQ flies there from BCN, but it's a 77W which isn't a suite (only on the A388).
Africa: I don't think any of the Asian airlines serve the continent with first at all, SQ might, but it isn't A380. Might be able to cop EK or EY from the middle east, I think QR only serves JNB/MPM with a 777 which is J only.
Europe: All the suites coming from Asia are tougher since they are coming from their home hub, same for desirable flights from the middle east. |

Date: September 30th, 2014 8:18 PM Author: Emerald aromatic menage AA's new 777-300ER business class is very good. F is good too, but not a big difference between J and F. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2688518&forum_id=2#26431499) |

Date: September 30th, 2014 7:53 PM Author: azure blood rage don't have a link, I'd had my plat card for years when they started that offer, so I called and told them I wanted the 100k or I'd close my card and they just gave it to me.

Date: September 30th, 2014 8:04 PM Author: Bespoke casino do u already have an amex account?
it's prob easier to just find a friend who puts a lot of biz expenses on their card to see if they get an offer. this is what happens at work w/ one of my coworkers who puts the biz expenses on the amex and gets the 100k offer once every like 6 months.
or, in the alternative, just open some chase cards like the plebes and get 50k points, which are pretty good too. |

Date: September 30th, 2014 8:11 PM Author: Emerald aromatic menage Ultimate Rewards recently became a transfer partner of SQ too. they just started running a 70K offer on their Chase Ink Plus card that ends on October 10th:
http://applynow.chase.com/FlexAppWeb/renderApp.do?PID=CFFD2&SPID=FBGY&CELL=6LDK&MSC=1516016578
just make up a sole proprietor business and use your social as the tax id, like a consulting business or something. if you have to call in to get approved you tell them it's a brand new business.
you also have the Chase Ink Bold at 50K (another business card) and the Chase Sapphire Preferred at 40K.
Citi Thank You points are also now transferrable to SQ if you have any of those lying around (Cathay too). the Premier card has a 20K signup bonus (and another 30K in year 2 of having the card). i think there's a 40K bonus for opening a Citigold checking account too. protip: Citigold normally requires a minimum of $50K balance to not have fees, but Citi waives all fees for certain professionals including lawyers. go into the branch and when you're opening the account tell him you're a lawyer and he can flag the account so you don't have any minimum balance requirement.
there's also SPG. those also transfer to SQ, and you get a 20% bonus on all transfers of 20K or more. the Amex SPG has a 35K offer, so with spend you could hit 40K then transfer to SQ in two separate transactions for 50K total.
tl;dr: as of a couple months ago Singapore became one of the only airlines that you can transfer to from all 4 major points programs (MR, UR, ThankYou and SPG). |

56K for JFK-FRA one way for Suites is a 180 award. definitely doing that next time i go to Europe. i want to have sex with my wife in a center aisle suite. |
|
Date: September 30th, 2014 11:50 PM Author: azure blood rage Don't kick yourself just yet brej. You can still make changes to your itinerary assuming you are using UA miles, in the last week I have changed a previously booked itinerary from Lufthansa first on the long haul portion LGA-YYZ-MUC to EWR-CDG UA F as a placeholder to PHL-FRA-VIE-KIV today with the longhaul leg back on LH F. This is an "if nothing better comes up I'll fly it" ticket, but if I can i'll move the TATL portion to a NYC-FRA LH F flight closer in. Assuming you're using UA miles, LH F availability isn't opened up until you are inside the 14 day window before the flight, so you need to check everyday, and then call UA to make the changes when the flight you want shows a seat available. The availability changes every day, so if the seat isn't there at t+5 days it might be there at t+3. LH F is the only worthwhile F product you can get across the Atlantic with UA miles. SQ blocks J and F space for UA and LX no longer releases F seats to UA.
While the redemption rate for the JFK-FRA suite flight is great, it's ONLY for JFK-FRA, if you have connections onwards or before JFK it would trigger the SQ *A pricing which is pretty lousy. I usually take this when I'm going to NY-Paris because it's easy enough to just buy a cheap $100 1-way FRA-CDG and slum it in coach on the connection. If you have complex/expensive connections from your gateway, not an ideal move. |
|
Date: October 1st, 2014 12:01 AM Author: Emerald aromatic menage i'm headed to HKG. SQ is a no go as you mention. TG might be an option, but i don't think they give out F space to partners either. any other airlines i should be looking at? NH or CA maybe? i'm assuming they fly into HKG. never flown J or F on either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2688518&forum_id=2#26433441) |

Date: October 1st, 2014 12:07 AM Author: azure blood rage TG has no flights to N.America, and even when they used to operate an A345 out of LAX, J was the highest class of service. I assume you don't want to route via Europe just to fly TG. Of the options you have across the pacific, ANA is excellent, CA apparently is good on their new 777's, but I flew their old F product on a 747 SFO-PEK and it was pretty terrible. Asiana first is great if you can find a seat. I think they operate F out of JFK, ORD, SFO and LAX. Air India recently joined *A, so if you can find an agent willing to do it, you could string something together with a stop there. If you're dead set on flying LH and TG, UA routing rules do allow for transiting Europe on the way to Asia. So something like JFK-FRA-BKK-Destination would be fine. In fact, under the old award chart it used to be 135k roundtrip N.America-Europe in F and 140k U.S.-Asia in F with the possibility of a stopover in Europe on the way to Asia. When UA changed the award chart and I was burning miles, I tacked on a week in Asia to all my trips to Europe just to fuck them over and make them pay for all the extra flights to get me there and back since it only cost me a worthless extra 5k miles.

Date: October 1st, 2014 12:12 AM Author: Emerald aromatic menage lol. 140K for LH-TG U.S.-Europe-Asia would've kicked ass.
don't know why i thought TG had a BKK-LAX route. |
|
Date: October 1st, 2014 12:14 AM Author: azure blood rage They used to serve LAX and JFK but axed both because they weren't profitable, too much $ for fuel, same reason SQ cancelled LAX and EWR. Yea, the old UA award chart was awesome, stopover, destination, two open jaws, very liberal with the routing rules, 23 hour connections don't = stops. I saw a lot of awesome places by fleecing them. Now all the airlines seem to be tightening up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2688518&forum_id=2#26433567) |

Date: October 1st, 2014 12:17 AM Author: azure blood rage My knowledge of Germany is limited to Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. I would probably give Frankfurt a miss unless it's just to connect. Berlin isn't my favorite city nightlife wise, but there's lots of great history there, especially if you like Cold War stuff. Some good museums, fun to wander around old East Berlin vs. West Berlin, Checkpoint Charley etc... In Munich there's a nice art museum, Dachau is nearby, you can do a day trip to Neuschwanstein, walk around the city, drunk some beers at the Chinese Turm like a good TOURISMPIG and go to beer gardens. I like the laid back Bavarian feel in Munich better. People in Berlin always seem to have a stick up their ass. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2688518&forum_id=2#26433589) |

Date: November 10th, 2014 11:13 AM Author: Exhilarant Dull Whorehouse AMEX is once again running the targeted 75k/100k MR points offer that RSF mentioned above. It was common knowledge that they discontinued it for a while. The link below confirms that they're running a 75k point promo now, but people in the comments say they're received the 100k offer in the past 2 days as well. This is a targeted offer so you have to call and request it if you aren't targeted. I was successful with the 75k MR promo but I was told I wasn't eligible for the 100k promo since I wasn't already an AMEX Platinum card holder.
