Paid single-sector upgrade
Looking at work booking a trip for me MEL-FRA in Y (H, specifically) rendering my paid fare ineligible for points upgrade. Can anyone confirm or deny that SQ allows paid single-sector upgrades? I'll be flying on a 744.

I picked a random date in Aug as example. MEL-SIN-FRA-SIN-MEL in H is $1573+; MEL-SIN-FRA-SIN-MEL in J is $7174+. MEL-SIN-MEL in H is $835+; SIN-FRA-SIN in D is $4913+; the combined fare is $5748+. In sum, you need to pay around $4175 to upgrade SIN-FRA-SIN only, yet ou get to upgrade MEL-SIN-MEL as well for only around $1426 more.

Thanks TerryK! At least now I know what I'm in for if I do decide to go for upgrades. The reason for doing single sector upgrades rather than just paying full fare is that work will pay for me to travel Y MEL-FRA, and I'm looking to (personally) make that a bit more comfortable. Anyone know whether SQ do discounted at-airport upgrades?

I thought that was your original question.
Any way, the answer is the same. The only way to upgrade on SQ, over the phone or at airport, is to pay fare difference as quoted. You need at least one extra hour at the airport for upgrade as your ticket needs to be re-issued.@:-)
