in general, US airlines (except AS) these days do not give 100% miles or anywhere close to that, unless you are willing to pay $$$ for economy or $$$$$ for premium cabins
WN may be another renegade alongside AS, but i am not familiar since i never fly them.

Hi there,
Just wondering if PPS value is still calculated no matter what the ticket stock is? I have only credited SQ-issued (618) to PPS club before.
I am looking to by a Lufthansa (220) issued RTW ticket, will the SQ legs count for PPS value? I haven't found any posts from the last few years.
Thanks for your help.

I'm guessing this means that if you're flying a partner codeshare on an SQ aircraft you will earn PPS value. Though I don't know how they would calculate the PPS value for a RTW ticket for the SQ codeshare segments.

Do we know when the new suites product will be rolled out to the JFK-SIN (via FRA) route? Thinking about booking a flight for 2018.
Also, I have enough miles for SQ suites one way JFK to SIN. Which direction offers the best experience? I have done NYC-FRA and back in suites and do not like the FRA-JFK segment that much since its a morning flight. However, I have never flown SQ suites from SIN. Does the ground experience in SIN (ie lounges etc) make for a great experience that would make it much more worthwhile to go SIN-JFK instead of JFK-SIN? My other flight will likely be in CX F where the ground experience in HKG is the best I have ever had, so I am leaning towards CX flight back but I am keeping an open mind.

No, nobody knows. The present product is better ex-JFK. SQ does not offer any 'ground experience', even at its home base. In terms of lounges, the clubhouse beats the private room hands down.

Where to find the inflight menu?
I am booked on SQ1 from SFO to SIN in mid-Dec. I read that inflight menus are now available online on the booking page but I cant seem to be able find them anywhere on my booking page. I can see the BTC options but dont see a link to the inflight menu. Is it too early for it to be available online?

In a few weeks I'll fly DPS - SIN - MUC with a 8 hour layover at SIN. DPS-SIN is in Y, SIN - MUC in J, different tickets, but both on SQ, so I assume that my luggage will be checked through to MUC and all boarding passes are issued in DPS. I'd like to know whether there are any lockers in the lounge or somewhere else airside to leave my hand luggage. I'm thinking of buying tobacco in Indonesia, but also to leave the airport during my layover in SIN, hence the need to store my bag airside. Is that possible?

having said that SIN has storage both landside and airside.

i think in general you should never assume that your bags will be checked through on separate tickets, yes the agents can do it but if they decide not to for whatever reason your plans might just be screwed.

Mixed business-economy cabin award flight, agent insists on doing additive pricing (as 2 tickets) instead of just the business class pricing.
Any special wordings or workarounds to make it price as business class, even though I'll be sitting in economy on one of the segments?
This is on star-alliance metal (AirCanada)

Suites SIN Ground Experience Question
I booked SYD-SIN-HKG in Suites class (first time in Suites and an A380!)
SQ22: SYD 15:00 - SIN 21:00
Layover: 11hr 20min
SQ860: SIN 08:40 - HKG 12:40
Both legs are operated by an A380. Will I have access to the Private Room? I know that club is closed from 02:30 through 05:30. Come that time I can just move to another lounge. Can I expect to be met at the gate upon arriving as well?
Sorry for noob questions. I've never flown SQ premium cabin through SIN before. I'm excited
