[Arthur Little]

My wife submitted her documents last week in May. We, like many are in the waiting game. I noticed on 13th June that Singapore Airlines was doing a promo to Asia and Australia. I took the chance and booked a return ticket for myself in middle of September. I have booked her a oneway ticket from Davao to Singapore using airmiles and will book the remainder when we get the visa.
It is a chance but when return flights are at £320 all inclusive it is worth a chance. I just hope I don't have the same experience as Arthur Little.

I see your wife's application was submitted at the end of May, Jonny ... in WHICH case - all things being equal - she SHOULD have her visa in sufficient time for you to travel together on the pre-booked Davao/Singapore flight, i.e. if the British Embassy maintains its current target-schedules.

However, in the unlikely event of these NOT being met, I found Singapore Airlines to be very flexible when it comes to changing dates. And here again, I speak from personal experience in that, due to prevailing circumstances at the time we were awaiting the processing of MY wife's visa, I'd to postpone my homeward-bound flight. But, much to my relief, the airline office in Davao accepted my reasons for this, and allowed me to travel on the later date I mentioned in my reponse to Ross.

it was well-worth taking a chance on a fare like the one you earned through [?Krisflyer] airmiles; it would've been daft not to! So let's continue to look on the bright side ... and good luck to you both with your application.
