R maybe a joke, but SQ in general shouldn't be. SQ made changes to their award policy and are now permitting Business class and First class Saver Awards (using their own KrisFlyer miles) on A380-800 (well, excluding the suites), B777-300 and A340-800 aircraft that had previously been blocked. Effective today, March 8th, they are accepting reservations.

Speculation is that opening up Saver Awards to their own members will also make those awards available to *A partners. Given that these are now the only aircraft types that SQ operate into north america, one surely hopes that UA MileagePlus members can now access them.

Today I did a search on SQ's website and found availability EWR/SIN and JFK/SIN in business class Saver Awards. However searching on UA for the same days did not pull them up.
