Short stopover any chance for rebooking on SQ J?
I am flying MLE-SIN-ICN on SQ then continue ICN-SFO on United.. These are in J and awarded through United.
I arrive in SIN at 7:10am connecting to SQ600 at 8:00am.. My stop in SIN is 50 minutes, and I'm traveling with infant.. how likely/unlikely am I to make it? and if I miss it, is there any chance they would actually rebook me on the next flight that goes to ICN but then continues on the same plane to SFO (SQ 16)?
That way I can avoid UA and fly straight with SQ...
THANKS

Unless your first aircraft goes tech and experiences a long delay, making the connection in SIN should be easy if you don't need to change between T2 and T3. If you miss the flight, SQ will put you on the next flight in business class operated by SQ or at least *A. They will not reroute you from your UA TPAC to a SQ TPAC unless there is no other possibility as SQ cannot change UA award tickets. If you booked UA on your UA award tickets, you should not expect to fly SQ.

SQ can change an award ticket in involuntary circumstances.

I'd say it is highly likely that a MLE-SQ-SIN-SQ-ICN-UA-SFO 016 UA ticket with an invol misconnect in SIN will be rebooked by SQ onto the SQ16 direct to SFO. In fact, having first checked the loads before leaving MLE and being fine with the downside risk of an extra day reaching SFO, I would slow-walk to SQ600, arriving just after pullback.

Wrong.

If I do show up to the gate late, can they complain that I landed with enough time and it's my fault I didn't make it out? How do I check availability before leaving MLE just by just search for business tickets on SQ website?
I'm actually continuing from SFO to YYZ so a flight going to NYC would also work..
If they try rebooking me on a UA flight, can I ask to be booked on SQ saying it;s more convenient?

Thanks for your reply.. We're actually traveling with an infant so that could also slow us down a bit while we wait for our stroller at the gate.

Really? "They took 20 minutes to bring up our stroller". Exactly the opposie infact - very easy to argue in this fact pattern. SQ is not out to screw over a young couple with an infant by policing that they don't greedily take a longer layover and fly in an incrementally better J product for a portion of the onward travels. Come now.

If the flight arrive on time, it is the passenger's duty to get to the connecting flight on time. baby or not. They do expect the passenger to know before booking the flight, right?
If final destination is NYC, why OP didn't make a booking from SIN-EWR

Also, I believe minimum connection time in SIN is 1 hour, my connection is less than that... thats why I was wondering to begin with...

I don't think so, for most SQ to SQ connections. For many passengers, their check in cutoff is forty minutes. If your ticket violates MCT, it should not have been possible to make the reservation.

Agree with the OP who said SQ will do their best to make sure they get on the SIN ICN flight if there is a slight delay on the incoming flight from MLE, so I wouldn't get any hopes up for finagling an extra SQ leg.
OT, but this is a painful itinerary and goes the long way round. Would have thought it makes more sense to fly via the Middle East and Atlantic to YYZ.
