I booked on SQ site. Use multi-city. Kayak.com had showed same rate (this time) so always book with airline if no benefit to use OTA.

How did you figure the 66.000 AS miles for a non elite member? I'm trying to figure out what the mileage would be using the different fare buckets, class of service bonus and Additional bonus, but I'm not close to your figure. I'm either way above or about 15k short. Any help is appreciated. I'm debating changing my PEY fare and hopping in on this new itinerary, but it will depend on the miles.

Any idea how many miles this might post to United?

100% should be about 32K PQM and RDM - no bargain (but great for 1 ticket) .... AS a lot better

These will be the actual miles flown on that itinerary, comes out to 33,242 miles total:
3847 JFK-FRA
6387 FRA-SIN
12774 SIN-FRA-SIN
6387 SIN-FRA
3847 FRA-JFK

AS awards 200% for SQ D fares so roughly 66k miles right there.

Caution: it's 33K EQMs and 66K RDMs with AS [JFK-SIN-FRA (stop) FRA-SIN-JFK]
ETA: it works out to 7.27 cpEQM for the $2420 fare

Precisely why I don't book SQ. No COS Bonus is usually a no go for me. Besides, I don't like their J seats. Very uncomfortable IMHO.

Not really, on UA it would be about 22K PQM/RDM. Not a great deal. Even on KF it is not amazing, including the KF Gold bonus. I am not sure why SQ is so stingy with miles.

Oops, my fault. 22K is for the regular RT, not this concoction

Has anyone noticed that SQ site sometimes indicates availability in D on all segments, but when I actually try to select the second (SIN-FRA) segment, it bumps me into J, increasing the fare?

Does it really bump it up? I've looked at a few (more) dates for JFK-SIN--FRA--JFK and while segment two shows up as $0, the third segment usually shows a price that almost matches the total fare but once I click through and accept, the lower fare remains for all three.

I searched and there is a J class fare for JFK-FRA-SIN-FRA for US$1583 which allows for a change with a US$250 charge. This is a steal.
Would you mind sharing the dates for the $1583 ticket please? I'm getting stuff priced at about $200 higher. Thanks!

30-Jan JFK-FRA-SIN
02-Mar SIN-FRA (or any other dates)
This fare will only work if the 2nd leg destination is FRA. I tried other Europe destinations like AMS and it doesnt work and I get a fare of $3999.

(I tried posting a screenshot that I captured on the SQ site but I do not have enough posts.)

Has anyone been able to upgrade with miles on this route? When I try it tells me it's not possible, and I have a U fare.

I did not try (see my previous posts) but was afraid believing this was a Zone 11-Zone 13 ticket might be too much for the computer. Did you try as a r/t or did you try as 1 way segments? Was "O" available on the flights your tried?
