  Mild warning to anybody who does not need the flexibility and who does nit possess vouchers – this is NOT a good deal/redemption if you have the cash to spare!

  Miles and tier point earnibgvrevenue fares from UK-SIN next July in Business class with One World or Star Alliance airlines are as follows:

  MAN-SIN £2300-2400
  LHR-SIN £2400-2500
  EDI-SIN £2500-2600

  By comparison, assuming 1ppa the BAEC redemption is costing £3400. Thus, paying cash saves you about one third, even before factoring in miles and status earned which effectively reduces the cost further still.

  Anybody caught up in these scenarios may wish to exercise their right to cancel within 24h.

    Thanks for looking into this @BJ.
    Unfortunately I have a 2-4-1 to burn for this route in Q4 2024, (220,000 avios, £1,200 pp) Or I would have looked at this….

      Meant 220,000 avois and £1,200 for two Pax.

      Having a 241 is never unfortunate Gordon 🙂 However, if it works for you and you can find availability, booking 2x OW with the return from HKG will save 10k avios and a pile of cash.

      I just sketched out the scenarios in my earlier comment in event anybody without vouchers and plenty of cash thought twice about proceeding with the reward. To be honest, I was surprised revenue returns to SIN next July were around £2300-2600, I expected them to be £3000+ but they’re actually cheaper than BKK which is usually much more competitive.

        I am normally just happy with a redemption booking on BA metal with a 2-4-1, And a few CE trips, But maybe I should broaden my horizons a little and look at OW carriers, It’s a shame BKK Is not served by BA atm as it was a favourite route of mine. I am aware that there are other options available but direct is the only option for me unfortunately as my wife does not travel well,Thanks again @BJ.

    Flexibility to cancel has real value if booking a year out though.

    • BJ says:

      Agreed, covered that point in my original comment this morning.

      OT, more articles coming today or are we down to two daily for August?

        This is the 3rd.

  Looking at some US destinations there seems to be a lot of availability in June and July also. Wouldn’t LAS normally sell out as soon as they’re released too? Have they released a WW set of seats perhaps?

  • Gordon says:

    5 Aug5 August 11:15

    Re LAS, I booked a 2-4-1 in J on 24/08/22 for travel this April no problem!

      Good to know, thanks for confirming Gordon!

  Erm, I’m not entirely sure why I am now a troll. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this wasn’t directed at any post. I choose how I spend my Avios, you choose how you spend yours. I wish you a nice trip.

  There are also some decent cash fares on QR from CPH for next year, CPH to KL for about £2500 was cheapest I could find. Prices up with a mix of QR/MH/Finnair depending on what you choose.

  any help or advice greatly appreciated.

  i’ve booked two one-ways using avios and my 2for1.

  i booked SIN-LHR initially and taxes were £282 per person, when adding LHR-SIN to the same booking i was quoted £512 extra taxes per person.

  I challenged this as can see the return taxes should be around £600 per person and have been told it is more expensive as two one-way tickets.

  I’ve asked them to re calculate as a return ticket and am waiting for the ‘back office” to email me with (hopefully) their new calculation.

  am i correct in thinking this can be (and should be) recalculated as a return or have i got that wrong?

  thank you in advance…

    I’m no expert, there will be commenters that would answer this better than me! But are both dates off peak or one off peak and the return leg you added peak! For reference LHR to SIN with a 2-4-1 is 220,000 avios and £1,200 taxes fees etc. Not sure if SIN-LHR return would make any difference in taxes and fees! Might be worth carrying out a dummy booking to see what the taxes are.

    • paul e says:

      5 Aug5 August 17:05

      thank you gordon. SIN-LHR is off peak 110k avios and LHR-SIN is peak 120k avios. but i don’t think peak / off peak makes any difference to taxes? i have tried dummy booking and return taxes are £600 PP

      • Gordon says:

        5 Aug5 August 17:16

        If you’ve added this to your existing booking as the return date was not available on the initial booking date, it should be treated as a return booking not two one way bookings! I would call again and speak to a CS agent as one could give a completely different answer to the previous one. Hope this gets sorted.

        • paul e says:

          5 Aug5 August 17:32

          i agree that it should be treated (and priced) as a return so let’s hope they come back to me with a new calculation soon

  Thanks for the heads up about the new availability. I have been looking for weeks but there was no club or first availability. Now booked for a club return next June to fit in with a Cambodia/Vietnam trip. Managed to use my last Amex 2 for 1 voucher as well. Great deal

• Zed says:

  Can someone remind me again, how does the companion work on one-ways? I priced up one way, but then it said I couldn’t complete as I didn’t book it as a return…

  • Rob says:

    Should work perfectly fine if it was from the UK – if it was TO the UK it needs to be a newer voucher issued since the rules changed to allow one-ways which start abroad.

  Silly question perhaps, but can a 2 for 1 be used to book 4 one way tickets for 4 people or does the journey need to include a return for 2 people?
