I found this fare only on United.com There is a minimum 3-day stay but considering arrival in SIN is 2 days after departure, in essence it's a little over 24 hours. Best routing is through IAH for the most miles. It appears the fare is available for departure on weekends - for a $25 surcharge and Mondays. If you depart on Monday, you arrive at 12:10am on Wednesday and depart at 5:45am on Thursday. I found dates through June 29th but fare rules don't indicate there's restriction on travel dates. However, itineraries must be ticketed by March 3rd.

Wonder if reverse works Ex-SIN. Not looking at mileage run but this is a cheap ticket to US if it works.

Seems to be working ok. Nothing fancy just PHL-SIN with UA+. The IAH routing is one of the choices among several others. Through SFO nets a few more miles. Leaving on a Tuesday is slightly cheaper.

That's odd - SIN-NRT-SFO-PHL is 10,973 vs. SIN-NRT-IAH-PHL coming in at 11,295 on united.com So, the IAH routing is 322 miles more each way. Not sure what mileage is displayed on ITA but the amounts on united.com are pretty accurate, so I'd go with that.

I agree with UA - even if they are wrong sometimes
I should have added more detail. The routing through SFO that I mentioned was through IAD. There are other combinations. Most cost about $10 more RT.
