Crazy Online Seat Availability
Crazy Online Seat Availablity
On some occaussions I have needed to fly from BNE to AMD, PEK or BKK for business on short term notice. It is often diffciult over holiday periods or within a short time frame to secure seats on a perferred fligh using the SIA website.
However, what I have found interesting is often when SIA web site indicates that the seat is not available, the same flight is available if to booked using a partner airline web side (ie same SIA codeshare flight) or through an indpendent online booking service. For example SIN AMD often comes up as unavailable on SIA but the same flight is avaialble on the Air India web site.
Does SIA allocate some seats on flights to their codeshare partners or to other web based online booking agencies?
It seems odd that a EG cannot get a flight on the SIA website when the same flight is availalbe on other web sites?
Does anyone know if SIA allocates seats to other parties or is there some other game going on?
