I just returned from SIN the other day. I'm UA Platinum, and was able to go into the SQ Krisflyer Gold lounge. The lounge isn't anything special...I was actually REALLY disappointed in their food and beverage selection, not to mention they didn't have any sleep/lounge area to get away from the lights and recline a bit during my 7 hour layover there. I didn't know that I could have gone into the SATS Premier lounge for free (I used my Priority Pass card, so I technically got in for free anyway). That would have been nice to know, though! Anyway, I thought that lounge was a MUCH better option compared to the SQ lounge! Showers, massage chairs, and much better food/beverage!
I was told we could use the SATS lounge, and tried and the woman told me no...said they are not affiliated with Star alliance...the folks at the Krisflyer lounge said this was really the only lounge I had access to.
As for the flight...was my first time on a Dreamliner, and I was impressed! Was in 22A with an empty middle seat. IFE is very nice, seats are comfortable enough and man, that plane is quiet!
Got a decent amount of sleep without the benefit of a sleep aid.
I walked for about 5,000 steps in the airport...catching up on emails for work and flyertalk now. Will head out for another 5,000 or so steps before jumping back on board for the flight to LAX at 11am. In 19A with an open center seat again.

If I remember correctly, last time I used the SATS lounge, I got an invitation/coupon at checkin.

If there is an agent at transfer desk, who can issue UA boarding passes, he/she should be able to give you an invitation to SATS lounge. I have not done this. So, I do not know the answer.

Im in the Krisflyer lounge right now after arriving this morning from LAX. Agree it is disappointing. Quiet, not great food and definitely no place to stretch out. They don't even have a bathroom here, let alone a shower.

Both times I went to the transfer desk, nobody from UA was there to help me...so I was sent running to the gate 45 minutes before departure and they printed one for me there.
Flight back was uneventful and had an empty middle seat.
Got to chat briefly with another flyertalker on my flight which was fun...slept most of the way and had to bolt to catch my connector to Chicago...which is now delayed! ugh

Hello All,
New to forum, but have run across it a few times this year. Been doing a lot of international travel for work in the last half of this year and find myself less than 9k miles from 1k status. So, I just booked this deal. Too new to edit the wiki, but could someone list me as kmcarter with LAX-SIN 11/8 and SIN-LAX 11/10?
Thanks!

This fare reminds me of the 90s when UAL flew B747 400s via NRT to SIN. Those were some good times in South East Asia back then.
Tempted to hop onboard.., hit Orchard Road for a bit, then the afternoon/evening hawker stalls for some chilli crabs, pop over to Raffles for a Singapore Sling or two - and then fly home on UA38 the next morning after arrival.
Beats spending $400 at Costco on Saturday!

Hi all, so I'm new to the part of "optimizing" upgrades...
I am on the K fare next week, and wanted to upgrade to business class. So I put in the copays for MPUs (MileagePlus Upgrades), which puts me on a priority waitlist. However, I heard that there are these things called GPUs (Global Premier Upgrades). Not really sure how those could work to my advantage since I have no status on United this year, but I'm interested in learning more. Thanks in advance.
