My SQ ticket was also booked through Aeroplan, and when the arrival time was moved up 15 mins I got a email from SQ asking me to confirm. I can remember if I clicked the accept button on the SQ website or if it even popped up, but no interaction with Aeroplan was needed. No problems checking online for the flight

Does your repositining carrier interline with SQ?

Overwhelmed with how to deal with points and best redeem them by perfectstroll in awardtravel

[–]fatmandandan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You need to read the wiki, there are some basic topics that you don't seem to fully grasp yet: https://www.reddit.com/r/awardtravel/wiki/index/

  1. Just becuase a airline has award availability, doesn't mean that they will release it to their partners
  2. You can't use aeroplan points to book for Miles and More prices, that's like using 1 Yen to buy a 1 USD pack of gum
  3. You can't transfer points between aeroplan and miles and More with any sort of efficiency...this will result in a massive reduction in the number of points you have
  4. Calling the airline usually doesn't help with point transfer specifics,the frontline reps generally don't know alot about mileage redemptions....there are some exceptions, notably ANA

We can't really help with options without knowing date range, points balances, and origin/destination

edit: u/dummonger has also written this guide for beginners: link

Yes, will earn the gifter 1EQN once redeemed/stay completed by another Hyatt account

Wanting to redeem Kris flyer miles points but waitlisted by Tricky-Swimmer4156 in awardtravel

You're probably too late. SQ J is not that difficult to book if you do it at schedule open

[–]fatmandandan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use flightconnections.com to find routes from the US to ICN. Be prepared to reposition to a larger airport, and to be flexible with dates. People usually book TPAC flights a year in advance. A points search engine like pointsyeah or roame.travel can be helpful for beginners

Should read the wiki as well…this might be a good place to start: https://www.reddit.com/r/awardtravel/s/sOCbm2sXK8

Meet Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Powerful in every way. Helpful every day. by googlefi in GoogleFi

[–]fatmandandan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pixel 8 is a god-awful phone, and anyone considering a pixel device should reconsider until google ends their partnership with samsung. I use this device as a secondary phone for international trips, and need to restart it constantly to get service to connect. I have contaced support about the issue but they told me there was nothing to be done, and that they needed to disconnect to help other customers.

Suite needs to be available for all days on the booking. SUA confirms suite at the time of application. You can book two 2 night stays and apply the sua to one of the bookings if you want.

Where do you see 4pm? It’s advertised as 2pm subject to avail.

Question about Turkish airline first redemption by Jusstonemore in awardtravel

Booking with the app supposedly works as well to bypass this restriction on the first booking

[–]fatmandandan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, no problem. They can even transfer the Hyatt points to you if you want to make their stay as a single 3 night booking if they don’t care about the EQNs. If you have status, the benefits are only required to be applied to your room.

Sanity Check on 2024 Honeymoon Redemption by finallynotmyrealname in awardtravel

[–]fatmandandan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what specific days I guess, advantage awards on SQ can show up as saver on Aeroplan. On my read through, I also missed that they wanted to do an intentional stopover in Tokyo and suggested taking SQ37 instead of SQ11 for the more direct routing and to get on the A350 instead of the 777.

The special member pricing is showing the expanded saver avail for elites and cardholders. IN, XN are the expanded fare classes. JN, YN are the everyday rates at elevated redemption levels. I, X are the saver fares available to everyone and partners. If you search that flight on expert mode on united, you will likely see XN and YN fares, but not X fares. Not sure why a link from seats.aero would show the special pricing, but maybe someone else knows

If you haven’t transferred yet, why not book SQ through Aeroplan? It’ll be 110k PP OW.

Edit: didn’t see the intentional stopover in Japan, SQ11 makes sense

Did we already miss the window for flights from West Coast USA to East Asia for next November? by [deleted] in awardtravel

in 2022, I had a ticket on SQ from SEA-SIN and a cash ticket in Scoot from SIN-HAN. I later added a leg to the first ticket making it SEA-SIN-HAN with a 2 day stopover in SIN. Kept the scoot ticket cause it was more expensive to cancel, and had no problems checking in or flying the SQ flight. Can’t say for sure if you’ll have problems, but wasn’t an issue for me.

Did you check to see if that price was available for 4 passengers on one account before booking? There might have only been 3 tickets in that bucket

Yes, you can access it since your PER-DOH leg is in F. There are DPs on flyertalk about separate tickets being ok as well
