Out of curiosity: does SQ codeshare with UA? Or is that hoping for too much amicability between the two airlines?

US Airways will also codeshare on Singapore Airlines services to European gateways of Amsterdam, Zurich and Manchester.

“This partnership will bring convenience and benefits to customers of both Star Alliance airlines, providing them with a link between Singapore and more US cities.

About Singapore Airlines

When Singapore Airlines was formed in 1972, it operated a modest fleet of 10 aircraft to just 22 cities in 18 countries, most of which were in Asia. With a commitment to fleet modernization, product and service innovation and market leadership, the Airline quickly distinguished itself as a world-class carrier. Today SIA is internationally recognized as the world’s leading airline and operates a modern passenger fleet of 92 aircraft. Its network, including Singapore Airlines Cargo and SilkAir destinations covers 98 destinations in 40 countries.

SIA made aviation history in February 2004 with the launch of the world’s longest non-stop commercial flight between Singapore and Los Angeles on the Airbus A340-500. Soon after, in June 2004, the Airline broke its own record with the launch of non-stop commercial flights between Singapore and New York (Newark) using the same aircraft.

This year, Singapore Airlines marks another milestone as the first carrier to take delivery of and operate the world’s first double-decker aircraft, the Airbus A380."
