Burning:

Award Charts:
(see note below for definition of "Continental USA", "SE Asia" and "South Pacific" )
SE Asia-SE Asia: 17,500 Y, 25,000 J 35,000 F
North Asia-SE Asia: 22,500 Y 60,000 J, 75,000 F
SE Asia-Middle East/India 25,000 Y 65,000 J 85,000 F

North Asia-Europe 65,000 Y 175,000 J 240,000 F
Middle East-Europe 60,000 Y, 160,000 J 210,000 F

Note: Chart only allows contiguous US and Alaska as "USA", however, AS connecting flights to Hawaii/Canada/Mexico are allowed. No chart for USA-Europe (though in theory you could redeem SIN-USA or USA-SIN routing on SQ onestops involving Europe and get off the plane in FRA/MAN, pretty high price in miles though). Stopover in SIN not allowed on regional awards (Intra-Asia,including South Pacific) not touching US.
"North Asia" includes China (PEK/PVG) as per latest update by AS. South Pacific is Australia/New Zealand

FWIW, on the dates I’m looking the P fare is $400 more RT than the R fare, so a fairly significant difference. The UA Mileage Plus chart says that R fares earn 100% miles (non-016 ticket stock) starting 1 Sep 2018. It may take some time for AS to update things.

I just asked about this over in another thread, and what I've found out so far doesn't look good. AS earnings on SQ premium economy R class fares

Yeah, I personally would not risk it right now unless I were comfortable earning 0 miles for the flight (which, given the length in question, I am not).

Looks like SQ R class (discounted Premium Economy) still accrues zero on Alaska.
I'm also looking at SQ D class (discounted Business) would accrue 200% for a base member, and 325% for a 75K....

Yes but no class of service bonus. I'm flying a D fare next week.

Yes, pretty stingy on SQ for AS EQM accrual. I could have booked SQ for my recent Mileage Run but chose EK, KE & CX instead for the COS bonus. I have also flown SQ J and was really disappointed with both the hard and soft product.

It's official. Singapore Airlines is starting service to Seattle in September 2019.

Nice, but unless I can snag two business class awards, you will never see me on that route.

Be pretty easy in Krisflyer. I still think AS will allow AM redemptions before SQ ones though.

Any recent experiences on how long it takes for SQ miles to post to AS?

And you didn't have to get in touch with them or send in Boarding Passes, receipts and such?
