If I contact SQ, can they cancel my current booking to release the EWR-SIN space and then book the desired EWR-SIN-DPS itinerary? I'm concerned about potential cancellation without the original flight returning to inventory. Any advice would be appreciated.
Given you've got a booked, confirmed EWR to SIN award ticket, I would just book SIN-DPS saver and then when you check-in, they can issue both boarding passes / send the bags along too (especially since it's all SQ).
If you ask SQ to cancel the current booking and book the desired EWR-SIN-DPS ticket, there's too high of a risk that inventory won't show up and then you're SOL. I always recommend to keep the existing ticket and not roll the dice with cancel and rebooks ... especially for a route as popular as EWR to SIN.
Congrats on finding the space btw - have a wonderful flight and enjoy Bali!
