Reply To: Booking LHR-SIN Stopover SIN-SYD with a 2-4-1

[MilesOnPoint]

A word to the wise on this, the new Avios changes have meant a substantial increase to the “stopover” option for Singapore on the way to Sydney.

LHR-SIN-SYD (single flight BA15) now 145,000 in Club
(Was 125,000) + £375pp

LHR-SIN [stopover] SIN-SYD is now 190,000 in club (was 137,500) + £475pp

So you are paying an extra £100 in taxes plus a shopping 45,000 Avios for the privilege of adding a stop.

The above is off-peak, peak dates cost 200,000 Avios for a stop in Singapore! This ruled it out for us.

All of the above pricing is one-way. So if you wanted to stop in Singapore OUT & RTN (even for 3 hours) it will cost you an extra 90,000 Avios. Ridiculous.
