SQ has rerouted me from BCN to GRU via TAM Brazil and GRU to FRA via Lufthansa. No additional charges involved and J class remains on all sector.

Both JJ and LH have inferior J product when compare to SQ. I believe their J classes are 2-2-2 layout. I'd suggest ask SQ to rebook you onto LX.

Although LX is good in certain ways, the flight timing does not fit my schedule and the IFE in their old business cabin on A340-300 is not what I would like, therefore I went for a newer business cabin of JJ B767-300ER and LH A340-600 instead which also has a better flight timing that fits my schedule.

On the other hand, thankfully SQ did not ask me to pay for any additional taxes nor my two stopovers. The cost that SQ has to pay for both is around S$3.8K (JJ) and $4.3K (LH) as shown on my etix.

I have only been offered AV J via Bogota instead of SQ F direct....means I miss my connecting flight onto IGU so not comparable - waiting to speak to a supervisor.

Is your layover and dep/arr flexible? I just told them I need to arrive on this date and depart on this date as I have flights to catch within S.America itself.

Offered flexibility from anywhere in Europe to one of 3 cities in S. America over 5 days but there is no LH F or LX F availability on miles. However, as I understand EU261, they must reroute under comparable conditions.

Maybe downgrade to J instead and get the remaining miles back?
