How do you book U, L or K class tickets?
SQ's website is only offering V (0% miles) or W (100%) class tickets for some flights that I want to book.
However U, L & K offer 100% miles on UA and should (in theory) be cheaper as they are lower fare buckets.
The call center is pretty useless - they seemed to be rather confused by the concept of fare classes.
Is there any way to do this online?

Certain booking classes exists for certain markets only. So you would need to see what is your origin and destination is. SQ does not offer fares that don't exist.
U class was used for shuttl flights between SIN and KUL.
K/L class are used for interlining only. ie fares from YVR to SIN on AC (ticketed on AC, fare by AC) via HKG. The SQ portion is usually booked in K or L class depending on fare rules. Only a TA can determine which class to book in. Doesn't matter what AC is booked in. It does not work if booked as AC codeshare.
