Thanks!!

ONLY if you're connecting to a SQ flight.

If you're on MI (whether with SQ flight number or not) and you're connecting to a SQ flight, then yes you will be accorded *A privileges like priority check in, extra baggage allowance, and even lounge access. But if you're not connecting immediately and just have a MI flight, then no.

Only thing I'd like to add is that you won't be getting any miles into your TK account even if its on a SQ flight number.
