As much as I love Singapore Airlines, they really do frustrate me. When they rolled out their fantastic new first and business class products they “blocked” those seats from award inventory, meaning you couldn’t get an award seat with them unless you have miles in their frequent flyer program and are willing to pay basically [...]

Can’t say I’m really surprised here given that Singapore now has a relationship with four US airlines (Continental, Delta, United, US Airways). As of May 15, 2010, the frequent flyer partnership between Delta and Singapore Airlines will be over. Redeeming Delta miles for Singapore Airlines first class was always one heck of a value, although as Singapore rolled [...]

While Singapore Airlines is “all that” in the air, they simply aren’t on the ground, both in terms of customer service as well as actual amenities. In Singapore they have a mediocre first class lounge. Compare that to the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, the Thai first class lounge and spa in Bangkok, and the [...]

Through December 15, all Star Alliance airlines are offering status matches to their Star Alliance Gold levels for those with Hong Kong addresses that can prove status with another program. You also have to have one flight to credit to one of those programs. You simply have to register and send either your elite card or mileage statement [...]

As much as I love Singapore Airlines in the air, they’re an absolute pain in the arse to deal with on the ground. Furthermore, getting into a Singapore Airlines premium cabin can be a challenge. Actually, as of now you won’t find a single first or business class award seat on Singapore Airlines from the [...]

While Singapore Airlines is relatively stingy when it comes to first class award seats, I don’t really blame them. They have a great product, after all. Unfortunately it’s getting tougher and tougher since so many routes are being taken over by the 777-300ER and A380, on which Singapore Airlines isn’t releasing any first or business [...]

Singapore Airlines is taking delivery of some A330’s which they are using for regional service. One of the cool things about the new aircraft is that it includes a new regional business class product. While the old regional business class product wasn’t awful, it was far from comfortable for some of the longer routes Singapore Airlines uses this [...]

This thread on FlyerTalk seems to suggest that we’re seeing the last few months (if even that) of 747-400 service on SQ11/12, which operate LAX-NRT-SIN and back, as the route will be switched to a 777-300ER. While I can’t verify the timeline, we do know that Singapore will be retiring their 747’s soon, so this [...]

As most of you are probably aware, Singapore Airlines has not released any first or business class award availability on their new 777-300ER’s or A380’s to Star Alliance partners, but has been releasing them through their own frequent flyer program, although in limited quantities. While I understand their desire to preserve the exclusivity of premium cabins, this [...]

My friend Ryan recently redeemed DL miles for an F award on SQ, without a doubt one of the best redemptions using DL miles. Since many people seem to be interested in such an award, he graciously offered to share his experiences:
I’ve had around 100k DL miles sitting around for a few years with no [...]
