Bringing both parents overseas before wedding!

A lot of couples earn miles to have their honeymoon in business class but for us we have a totally different goal which is to bring our parents overseas on business class.

We booked SIN-DPS 355 days in advance since we wanted to snag 6 business class seats to and fro on Savers. This route is also one of those that we are confident that there are 6 seats available 🫣

We also booked a fantastic villa which provides daily breakfasts (western / indonesian style) and individual rooms with showers for 3 couples— definitely recommend!

Just a short getaway before our big day, with all expenses paid for by me and my BF, to thank our parents for bringing us up ❤️

... Read moreBooking business class for six passengers can seem daunting, but planning 355 days in advance on popular routes like SIN-DPS increases your chances of securing Saver award seats. This careful planning is essential to guarantee availability, especially when traveling with family. From personal experience, communicating early with airline loyalty programs and being flexible with travel dates also helped us snag these coveted business class seats. The comfort of business class transformed the trip, allowing all parents to relax and feel pampered, which made the pre-wedding celebration even more special. Choosing accommodation that caters to multiple couples while providing privacy, like a villa with individual rooms and showers, adds a personalized touch to the getaway. Including daily breakfast options—both western and Indonesian styles—helped cater to different taste preferences, enhancing the overall experience. Paying for all expenses was our way to express gratitude to our parents for their love and support. This gesture not only made them feel cherished but strengthened family bonds before our wedding day. For anyone considering a similar experience, starting loyalty program mileage accumulation early and booking flights well in advance is key. Also, explore villas or boutique hotels that provide both communal and private spaces for group travel. This combination of thoughtful travel planning and heartfelt appreciation creates truly memorable moments worth sharing.
