Originally posted by SQtraveller View PostI have a bunch of UA miles and want to redeem them on SQ on LHR-SIN. I'm sure I've seen it elsewhere, but this is only possible if

b) only travel economy (business and first redemptions not available
Is this correct?
2) Yes, you can only find Y space on 77W/A380 flights.
Burning miles for Y is usually of pretty bad value, though.

Looking into next year, I wonder if Premium Economy will be available on inventory available to UA redemption bookings
Originally posted by SQtraveller View PostI guess the next question is how difficult is it to redeem UA on LH metal? I am interested in flying LHR-SIN; so I can try the F terminal.

I have found that these calls, even when you know the flights are available and you give them the actual flights/dates, take at least 45 minutes to one hour. UA has to manually price the taxes and determine the amount of miles to deduct, which is a cumbersome and slow process.
Fair warning. Find a comfortable place to be sitting on the phone for an hour when you are ready to book!

In that case, can anyone suggest a LHR - SIN itinerary that involves a decent A* premium experience?Last edited by SQtraveller; 20 August 2017, 04:50 AM.

Other than the LH 14 days ahead option, has anyone got other suggestions?
Thanks
LHR-BKK-SIN in BR and/or TG isn't bad either.

With the (somewhat) recent changes to UA's FFP, you're better off sticking with UA metal.
[EDIT] There appears to be reduced partner pricing for trips January - March that appeared today (December 6th). Book now as it may be a glitch.HUGE AL

Kindly call the SQ hotline, give them your flight number, date of flight and name and which BTC you want. You can also ask them for the SQ 6 alpha numeric booking reference (which will be different from the UA one) so it will be easier to reference to your booking subsequently.
