I was just playing around on Singaporeair.com and pricing fares for “R” class between London Heathrow and Sydney via Singapore for a one way trip I could end up taking in July 2009. 

For those who don’t know, “R” class on Singapore Airlines is the Suites cabin on the Airbus A380. You cannot upgrade into the Suites cabin and you can’t use miles to reserve an award for an A380 Suite. At this point in time, only $ talks when it comes to the A380 Suites.

Naturally, I was wondering how much elite qualifying and redeemable miles I would earn in the Dividend Miles program should I choose to book “R” class. You won’t believe it, NOTHING! Iwas stunned!

I will have to look into this and probably contact someone from Tempe. I find it very odd- I’m just not sure whether it’s a typo or if they are serious. I understand no earning miles/ less miles earned on cheaper fares like the BMI “V” fare, but “R” class on SQ? Come on! I’m sure it’s just a typo. Well, I’m hoping! Should report back soon.

Have a nice clicK life,
