Booking two suite saver awards LAX-NRT with different accounts
Hello,
I've been reading the forums and haven't found the answer. I apologize if i've over looked it.
A friend and I are wanting to book two suite saver awards for travel April 2016, RT LAX-NRT. He has Amex MR and Chase UR and I have my points in my KrisFlyer account.
Since we are not married or not domestic partners it looks that he will not be able to transfer his MR/UR points into my KrisFlyer acct. I've heard that is difficult to book suite awards for two separately but if you book them together its much easier.
Curious if anyone has a way for us to get on the same flights and get two suite tickets, we'd love to get the saver award and book online for the 15% discount.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much,

Not sure I understand the difficulty...if you each have enough actual or potential (via his MR and UR points) KrisFlyer miles, couldn't you just log in to the SQ site, see if a given date has two F award seats available, and each obtain your own seat? I wouldn't see a problem with going this route.
Or if only your friend has enough potential miles, couldn't he just obtain the tickets for both of you? (Of course, he'd have to first establish his own KrisFlyer account and transfer his UR/MR points into it.)
Sorry if I'm missing something here.

Sorry, let me clarify. In doing my investigating in booking 2 suite saver award class tickets I have found numerous posting where people say that haven't been able to book 2 tickets separately, even when searching and they see two seats are available, once one award seat is booked, the other becomes unavailable. I'm seeing that it's best to book 2 award seats under one account at the same time. Does that make sense? So my fear is, if I book my ticket, and then my friends goes to book theirs, they won't be able to because some Singapore ticketing thing causes the second ticket to disappear.
