Only about 2-2.5 hrs flight time, not point upgrading imho. Better to keep the points to redeem future flights if I were you. Just my 2 cts worth.....

Dfx16 6th Gear July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 (edited) I always like to tell people who complain about flight delay due to technical problems: "Would you prefer to fly on a plane with problems?" Agreed to disagreed I was kept inside the plane for a good 3 hrs under the late morning hot sun without air condition, the air conditioner broke down Everyone with perspired wet clothes Common sense tell that they should least send us back to the airport waiting area instead of parking somewhere near the runway troubleshooting And continue to serve us cold water only Adult was shouting, young kids and infants crying Edited July 17, 2012 by Dfx16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfx16 6th Gear July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 I would expect that the airport security would not issue clearance to disembark passengers. Could be? I was told by the senior steward that they are arranging another replacement flight for us when the plane was 1 hr down Upon 2 hr down i follow up they replied still arranging For a good 2 ~3 hours they are arranging It is a white lie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyt 4th Gear July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 that time SQ delayed my flight from BKK to SIN. The delay was 3hrs...which i could have reached SG by then. Luckily it was a full service airline so we were given US10 vouchor + a box of choco for apology. The 747 that came to fetch us was old and tattered.

I had the chance to be in business class from SIN-CGK on Lufthansa 'cos over-booking on economy class and it's really comfortable. Just when I was about to fall asleep, the cb pilot announced that we're landing soon. Bo pian only about 1 hr's flight time...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerhammer 1st Gear July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 BTW those code sharing thingy. Those nehs buy Indian Airline but travel in SQ planes do they pay cheaper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royho1979 Clutched July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 there are so many types of prices on SQ flight. Around 15 prices for a Single Economy class ticket. SQ is still the preferred Airlines for Singapore Businessman. Look at their quarterly profit margin. Amazing!!!! Compare to other Airlines who are still in the RED and struggling to make ends meet. Er.. they just reported loss last qtr... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 (edited) My experience with code sharing for SQ is, the flight is super expensive compared to flights operated by their own. Example, SIN-NRT-SIN, I managed to get SGD600+ on SQ operated flight, but those with code sharing on ANA costs almost 3K for economy. Not sure if this is so if it's the other way round. I guess, SQ in this case has to pay "slot" cost to ANA which could be pretty high. On the other hand, for Indian Airline, SQ could have sold the unsold "slots" at a bargain to Indian Airline.....???

From my experience is that these code-share flights are more ex. That's what I found out when trying to book for my business trips to Germany and Malaysia at least.
