First time messing with award travel and I think I started way too late. Trying to get 2 business class saver awards on Singapore Airlines between SIN and JFK, which I know is about as competitive as it gets.
Right now I’m waitlisted on the nonstop to JFK for late Nov 2026. I did manage to lock in the return legs in Dec from JFK to FRA and FRA to SIN on saver, so at least part of it worked. I’ve also waitlisted a few other JFK options on saver.
I don’t have enough miles for Advantage awards yet. Maybe I could buy or top up through Marriott or a bank transfer, but I’m only KrisFlyer Silver so not expecting miracles.
