Did not quite understand... Looked at route map with *A members.

SQ, direct flight SIN-CHC, but as was said, not possible in C/F with UA miles.

Checking with UA's website, TG: SIN-BKK-AKL-CHC. AKL-CHC in Y with NZ, Ok, don't mind this last leg.

However, there should be another option: NZ: SIN-AKL-CHC - that's with one connection. There is also an option SIN-BKK or SIN-HKG on some other carrier and then BKK/HKG-AKL-CHC with NZ.

So... what would be the right approach?

Thanks for clarification.

Would it be possible to get C with SQ on a regional route - SIN-BKK or SIN-HKG?
