Unfortunately, AS EQM earnings are poor on SQ. No COS bonus in Premium nor Discount J.
I have an upcoming RTW Mileage Run on AS and partners. I could have flown DXB-NRT via SIN on SQ in J but chose EK A380 J via ICN, KE to HKG & CX to NRT, instead for the extra 25% COS. I much prefer the A380 J product with the bar over SQ J on the 777 which is a very uncomfortable and awkward hard product. (unless you can get bulkhead but blocked for KrisFlyer Elites) I have flow SIN-DXB and won't fly the route again on SQ Metal.
