Depending how it was ticketed, you never know if perhaps a SFO-NYC direct might be possible.
I’m almost 100% certain the ticket is ticketed as NYC-YTO, YTO-SIN round trip, and YTO-NYC.
Question is what is the flight number of the SFO-SIN segment. This determines which carrier published the fare.
If SFO-SIN is a AC flight number, then SFO-NYC nonstop would practically be impossible to be booked on unless it is day of departure IRROPS because AC can’t book SIN-SFO-NYC with AC flight number.
If the fare is UA, then maybe a schedule change can be rebooked as SIN-SFO-NYC.
