Currently I do two trips from London to Singapore a year, one with an extension onward to Melbourne, and four London to New York trips, all in business.

Switching to SQ, and assuming flying in Business Standard, the miles calculator says 2 x LHR-SIN returns should generate 33,808 miles, and the MEL-SIN return 9,308 miles for a total of 43,116 miles

Is this KrsFlyer miles, Elite miles, or both?

For the London to New York trips I can switch to United, and 4 x LHR-EWR return is 27,648 base miles - and according to the redemption chart I get 100% or 125% depending on the fare class in business - so worst case is I'll get 27,648 elite miles to combine with the 43,116 from the trips on SQ from above? Where I'm confused is the online calculator saying each LHR-EWR return generates 8,644 miles in business - but is that only if it were an SQ codeshare?

Is this all correct?

Thank you in advance for any help
