How will I get to SIN?
I don't travel as much as other FT'ers, but I travel long distances (MCI-MSP-PDX-NRT-SIN-SUB then 28 days later SUB-SIN-NRT-DTW-MCI, only to do it all in another 28 days or so)
I have been holding out hope (wishfull thinking) that the WP/SM merge won't hurt me to bad. After the last round of quiet announcements I am ready to begin looking elsewhere. Problem is, many of the other choices seem to be nearly as bad as the "enhanced" WP/SM program is looking to be.
Many here have expressed CO as an option, except they use NWA flight to reach SIN. My employer has numerous contracts with airlines, so I have a lot of options. Where will I get the most bang for my buck? I think that 2008 WP was a great program and as I haven't been with other programs the options look very bleak for me.

If you're going to do that trip more than once, you should be in the UA program.

UA program, flying either on UA or ANA metal. With ANA your departures aren't so god awful early compared to the NW and UA flights.

Are you trying to get to SIN, or to SUB?
You're asking about SIN in the subject, but your routing says you go to SUB in the message... Wikipedia alleges that NW/DL's buddies CI fly TPE-SUB, and KE are supposed to be doing ICN-SUB soon...

SQ is by far the best way to/from SIN, and they are part of *A. So, UA to the left coast, then SQ to SIN.
