Forums Frequent flyer programs Other frequent flyer schemes How I tracked a KrisFlyer redemption/SQ price for 6 months

    As many of you may know, an almost go-to response from any
    SQ redemption search is “Waitlisted”, with no mention of how
    long this might be for/likelihood of success.

    I tracked a Beijing-Singapore flight for our upcoming Asia trip:
    all flights suddenly became available in economy for every flight exactly 8 weeks
    before the departure date (having checked this at least weekly over the previous 6 months).

    In addition, the cash price constantly varied, with the sweet spot
    actually being about 4-5 weeks before departure (even when compared to
    6 months earlier).

    In a major plot twist, the PE price dropped dramatically (50%+) just 3
    weeks before departure, so I ended up getting PE o/w for GBP 290, which I
    was more than happy with.

    I guess the moral of the story is that the Waitlist may well come through
    if you’re prepared to wait!!

    Thanks Michael.

    Given that most readers here would be interested in UK/Europe to SIN route, curious to know if we see such changes on other routes.
    The biggest advantage for those in UK is the addition of LGW flight – no idea how long it can be sustained, here’s hoping there’s more availability in the future.

    A friend visiting in Oct. from the US saud she got a “great price” on Houston-MAN/FRA-NYC. Maybe the curve is on the way back down (he said, hopefully)?!
