If the 1-2 SIN-SFO or SIN-JFK are on UA you are unlikley to be able to any use another miles/instruments from another FFP to upgrade.
Have you checked the upgrade rules & policy on other airlines that can get you from SIN to USA ?
Thanks, I believe you're right on the new revenue-based qualification, I guess I'm wondering if there's any advantage to moving to Krisflyer now that I'm here. My gut is that there isn't, but I thought I'd check out what the oracles here have to say
Not that familiar with other airlines' FFP, except USAir and Avianca, primarily from the 1-for-1 miles purchase deals. I like Avianca's availability, they seem to have more inventory of SQ reward flights than others, but I don't know if that's a good reason to get on their FFP for serious. I also think that availability gap is likely to shrink in the near-medium term.
Ultimately, I think I am going to stick with UA...
