Upgrade on SQ Using UA Miles - Eligible Fare Codes?
Hi All!
I'm looking at a last minute booking on SQ on one of their new 777ERs and would like to book an upgradeable fare using a *A Upgrade from UA. My understanding from UA is that YBS fares are eligible for the Y to C upgrade, though when I phoned SQ Reservations, they said that YBS and E fares are also eligible for the upgrade.
Can anyone clarify this for me? Remember, I'm looking for a *A Upgrade award, not a KF upgrade. Also, does anyone know if there are certain flights on SQ where *A Upgrades are not permitted? I seem to remember SQ saying only KrisFlyer miles could be used for upgrades on newly configured aircrafts...
Mods, not sure if this belongs in the SQ or UA Mileage threads. Please move if necessary.
