Looking to get Brisbane to Europe next year for summer and know that it’s going to be a highly contested market for business reward seats.

I’ve come to terms with transferring my Velocity points into KRIS miles as the seats are available earlier and with more availability.

I’ve been watching knowing that I want seats coming up shortly (next 2 weeks). However it seems Singapore are loading their reward seats as waitlisted from the get-go.

Has anyone seen this as a thing? Now, thinking about locking down Singapore to Europe, as that seems to be very available and then waiting to do Brisbane to Singapore through Velocity points when they become available. Has anyone done something similar or am I being silly with points? Would probably do Brisbane to Singapore in Economy then business Singapore to Europe. I’m platinum, does that let me pick good seats in economy?

Jump jumping on a bang on 8 AM to find the saver business reward seats already on waitlist. Are they loading them on a waitlist pending demand? Or are they being taken within point one of the second?

Has anyone had an experience in this? Or would I be better getting a flight out of London getting the train from Paris where there seems to be plenty of save our business class reward seats
