I’d really been hoping to fly on the new Suites and I knew that a plane equipped with them was passing through within a few hours but it just didn’t seem like the waitlist was going to clear for us.Īt the check-in desk I asked if it was possible to manually clear the waitlist. I must admit that I felt a little deflated when we arrived at the airport. I then frantically refreshed the waitlist multiple times per day all the way up until the day of departure. Then I made a separate confirmed booking on the 777 flight a couple of hours earlier, with the onward flight to Bali included in this itinerary. So how did I get two seats in the New Suites cabin?įirst I made a waitlist booking for the late A380 flight from Shanghai to Singapore. Singapore Airlines presented a very similar problem: an ultra exclusive six seat First Class cabin with no award availability … and I needed two of those seats. ![]() I wrote previously about how I booked 33% of the seats in the Emirates Gamechanger cabin using miles, when all mileage bookings were supposedly blocked. I’ve been fortunate enough to fly the ‘old’ Singapore Suites on countless occasions and I REALLY wanted to try out the new suites this time. This is especially true when you consider that you can add in a multi day stopover in Singapore for $100 per person, on a one way ticket. The price very slightly increased to 53,000 miles as of February 2020 but this is still exceptional value.
