1.55 is without doubt more than 1.5, hence using full miles is always cheaper. At the same time, you cannot buy unlimited miles and you have to wait for new promotions to come up, hence I recommended to ignore the difference of 0.05 Cents which is amounting to an amazing 13.68 USD for your Business Class Ticket return and always use miles&cash to 'save' the miles in the piggy bank for whenever you need them.
If Lifemiles is not launching a new double promo, you will be stuck because of your 14 USD saving and have no miles left to book another ticket while I am still flying for next to no money in Business or First Class on SQ.

Which is the sum of 1.5 Cents x 12.000 miles and 1.55 Cents x 18.000 miles. As quoted.

Sqdazz has actually given a better option in his last post which shows miles + cash at 1.5 cents either way.

Sqdazz's option makes the most sense to me for my situation. Of course if I did not have the worry about stockpiling their miles, your option would be perfect.

does anybody know if LM gets some special access to SQ business class inventory?
I recently booked an M&M (LH) award, where LH only showed 1 seat available while LM showed 2. After the booking LH went to 0, LM to 1 and back to 2 seats after another hour with LH still showing 0 seats.
Any ideas on this?

The reason is the system actually creates a PNR the moment you go past the "enter your details" stage. This in real terms reduces inventory, and yet the site won't show it. I do not think they get any more special SQ J than any other FFP (in fact, i think LH actually gets more)

For those who are commencing travel from Singapore, let's get started talking about the mispriced routes/cities that are available on Lifemiles to us.
I personally have found only 3 so far that can help us.
1) deleted
2) deleted
3) deleted
If anyone is interested to working together to find more routes/cities let me know through PM or replies. Let's get started soon!
