The Global Traveller outlines the new Singapore Airlines ‘Full’ Awards and compares it to other airline offerings. Although full awards still don’t permit redemption for first class (suiites) on the A380, a first class roundtrip from Australia to Europe can run as much as 1,558,000 miles for last seat availability.
On the plus side, Singapore is introducing one-way awards for 50% of the roundtrip mileage, down from the current 70%.
Gary Leff is one of the foremost experts in the field of miles, points, and frequent business travel -- a topic he has covered since 2002.
Co-founder of frequent flyer community InsideFlyer.com, emcee of the Freddie Awards, and named one of the "World's Top Travel Experts" by Conde' Nast Traveler (2010-Present) Gary has been a guest on most major news media, profiled in several top print publications, and published broadly on the topic of consumer loyalty.
