They're at totally different price points. Obviously J would be a lot more comfortable no matter which airline you're on. I'm not a fan of SQ's program since their miles are hard coded to expire in like 3 years. As it was mentioned in another thread, PY isn't available on UA yet. I think that would be the bare minimum to survive a 17 hour flight.
