Sq lax-bom pe rt $849
Route through SIN, 22412 miles.

Only seems to be available leaving a few days in March

Eg https://flights.app.goo.gl/C5j3D

I would be all over this but I have an award trip booked during this time and I don't want to give up my CX F space

Argh, foiled again. Doesn't earn miles on UA either.

I show SQ R as earning 100% on UA and pretty much all *A airlines, but no PQD. For a UA flier that's tough, but not bad for others.

Can't comment on other *A, but, it earns NADA on TK (according to the chart)!

Oh, it does earn PQM. That's not bad at all then.

Is R on SQ a new fare class? AS is notoriously slow for updating their partner award charts when fare class changes (which can work in your favor as well).

There are so many good SQ R fares; it would be great if they eventually were added on AS.

I only saw it for dates departing March 4-28. But there may be others -- if you look up the fare on EF or matrix you should be able to see the expiration dates.

I wonder if this fare could possibly be upgraded using miles 🤔

Yeah, from a previous thread on a SQ fare, it appears that R is being used for cheap PE fares on very long routes.

Sadly, it seemed March only. And it also looks like it's dying quickly.

You're right; I looked again and it's only about half of *A that earns miles with R. Maybe because it's so new they haven't updated their systems yet.

This seems to be mostly gone, although there is still at least one pair of dates that price at $899 and a few that are at $949.
