They're adding the 2nd daily SIN-SFO flight in October (AM & PM) and hopefully PE & Real Polaris soon (not sure when). Once that happens, anyone who cares about any kind of lifetime status on UA will be hard pressed to give up the 17K+ BIS miles and fly SQ. UA may have found another TLV here...
I know this is a slightly older thread, but I couldn't agree more! It's still going to be painful flying in economy. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fly this before the pandemic began. I'm glad I have some time to think because PY isn't available yet. Apparently regular economy seats have only 3 inches of recline? Whoa!
