BTW there's a long-running thread for SIN MRs on DL:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...i-4-9-cpm.html

which also has a wiki at the top of the thread. Much of it is specific to the DL version of this MR, but the headings "SIN Airport Facilities" and "Things to do in SIN" have generically-useful info.

I am teetering on the edge of whether I should do this or not...literally gotten to the submit page multiple times but haven't pulled the trigger!
What are the chances as Gold that I will get upgraded from a "K" fare? Or given a deal to upgrade with points or cash?
I obviously don't travel internationally a lot, so this might be a dumb question...

UA doesn't do CPUs for international flights, so your only options to fly in business are paid/miles/instruments.

Are you seeing any availability at this fare anytime this year. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated

Miles+cash or GPU are the only choices. 30,000 miles + $600 co-pay each way.

I'd put the chances at 50/50 as a Gold depending on the day of the week with Tues/Wed/Thurs your best odds.

SIN is always a tough upgrade as there are many company paid biz fares. If you've never been though I would still go even in E+ as it's worth the experience.

On a $400 fare, $1200 round-trip and 60,000 miles for an upgrade is a little steep in my opinion. If you value your UA miles at .02 cents each we're talking $2400 round-trip. I wonder if a P fare would be even less… when booking these killer fares I fly coach. However, the MS folks love those upgrades…

Can you guys flying this tomorrow let me know thoughts on E+ bulkhead (row 16), regular e+, and Exit (row 27)? My flight zeroed out and it looks like my ug won't clear. I have one seat on bulkhead and one exit row, but am a little leery about the bulkhead (I'm 6"1).
