Thanks for the great, brief summary of KF, including its disadvantages. But doesn't it have the advantage of greater access to SQ business class and first class mileage tickets, as opposed to trying to get them through another *A carrier? Or is SQ as stingy about this with its own KF members as it is with other *A FF members?
