Miles&Bonus redemption question
Would it be possible to redeem 30,000 A3 miles for SQ new business class? How much would be the taxes?
I have 2 accts. One with 35K and other with 27K.
I would be very flexible and book a year in advance if neccesary. At first i wanted to hit one of my accts with 60K for F but i have read it won't be possible as F suites availability is only opened to KrisFlyer miles.
My idea was trying to price out SQ 25 A380 JFK-FRA each one way.
Either way I'm looking into the most logical luxury business class experience i can book with A3 out of NA. (Not sure who delivers)
That or i redeem 22K Economy RT's on A3.

I think you meant "Miles&Bonus" though

You can't combine miles in an account.
You need to be very flexible to find availability on SQ25 JFK-FRA...

Almost everything is pissible... Quote the taxes on matrix.itasoftware.com by yourself!
F suites are not possible with M&B.

If i'm not allowed to redeem for the JFK-FRA sole segment i can't redeem at all, since to get to SIN would be another animal in number of miles to exchange the tix, as it would be NA to Far East zone....
I'll like to know if i can actually redeem for JFK-FRA sole segment without continuing to SIN. Have tried to ask in the SQ board, but it seems a little less active than here.

Searched in ITA an it allows me to price JFK-FRA alone.

I think you're reading the chart wrong. C redemptions are 90k NA-Europe, so 45k miles one way. Second, SQ reward availability in J is non existent bordering impossible. F award space is flat out blocked for *A partners, apart for possibly some old aircraft inter Asia routes. Your other options that I would suggest would be either LX or LH, both have decent C cabins, perhaps not as luxurious as SQ but still very comfortable, and availability is more generous. Try for LH's 747-8 top deck or A380! Good luck

I made my mind and i am not doing TLV, the list is long. I'm considering:
Vienna or Geneva or Copenhagen or Oslo or Moscow or St Petersburg or Stockholm
On my way back i want to do Canada, so it all depends on the destination that i choose in Europe either is to return via YYZ/YUL. (maybe YVR, but it's much more limited)
Are Montreal and Toronto close to each other on drive time? Which one is closer to Ottawa?

LOL, 
pardon my question.
Yep, i found it very shortly. Montreal is closer to Ottawa at a 2h drive. and Toronto is the furthest. If i arrive in Montreal or in Toronto i think it would be about the same, as both are not too far on a 5h drive. If i arrive in either of the two Ottawa is doable too. So i can visit Montreal+Ottawa , Toronto+Ottawa. and if i feel more adventurous go in the almost 5h drive from Toronto-Montreal.
Ottawa seems such a nice city near from Montreal and near from Toronto, good geo positioning! It's just Vancouver .... that likes to be far from everyone.
Sorry for the OT.
i wonder who can tell me their personal appreciations of deciding between:Vienna,Zurich,Geneva,Copenhagen, Oslo,Moscow, St Petersburg & Stockholm.
I'm having a hard to choose which of those places i'll like to visit, as each one seems nice. Input would be thankful!

I think you will get a better grip on which is best for you by taking a look in the destinations section (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/destinations-704/ and if still unsure, post a question there.
