A CRWSTAR1 does not allow an upgrade of just one sector with cash, if one sector is booked in First (other than UA/US domestic flights on a 2-class-aircraft) you have to buy a FRWSTAR1.
Thanks for the more creative approach on routing. Next time I'll pose the question here instead of with the agent via the secretary...
Well, I now have my final ticket issued and it looks as follows:
AC032, C, Beijing-Toronto, Seat 1C ^
AC772, C, Toronto-Newark, Seat 2A ^
SK902, D, Newark-Copenhagen, Seat 2B
(which sucks and will be changed)
LH3077, D, Copenhagen-Frankfurt, Seat 3D
SQ325, A, Frankfurt-Singapore, Seat 1C ^
SQ802, A, Singapore-Beijing, Seat 1B ^
The price is confirmed and still roughly USD 6,400 plus tax - BUT, SQ charges USD 900 in "tax" which is beyond any tax I've ever seen. Could this be the explanation for the sudden A-class? Or is it the additional charge for their new cabin configuration?
And to give something back to the great community here: Is there a code somewhere on the ticket(s) I can provide that will help shed some light on the unconventional fare-structure for this itinerary?
