Want to make sure I'm understanding mixed-cabin bookings properly.
Currently looking at booking PER-SIN-SFO with PE and upgrading to J. Obviously no PE on PER-SIN.
Does this mean that the cost to upgrade to J would be calculated separately as in 32k for PER-SIN (Economy Standard to Biz upgrade) and then 64.5k for SIN-SFO (PE to Biz upgrade) for a total of 96.5k points? This seems a bit odd to me as it would be more than the cost of the "combined" upgrade from Economy Standard to Business per the chart (94.5k) even though I booked PE for the biggest segment or of course the "combined" cost of Premium Economy Standard to Business (64.5k).

Hello,
I am flying in business class on a paid ticket this summer on UA and SQ, ticketed by SQ with the USA legs codeshared by SQ on UA metal. My itinerary has 4 segments:
Dep.
1. BWI-LAX-SIN
2. SIN-KUL
Ret.
3. KUL-SIN
4. SIN-LAX-BWI
All of this is on the same ticket with the same PNR. I booked it this way as it turned out to be much cheaper than BWI-LAX-SIN-KUL as a single segment.
I was wondering if I will be able to check my luggage through to KUL on my departure, even through my flight from SIN-KUL is on a separate segment from my BWI-LAX segment.
Also, I was wondering if there will be problems in case of delays etc.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
On my SQ AMS-SIN flight booked via LH Miles & More currently all the bulkhead C seats on the A350 are blocked out when I look at seat selection either at LH.com or SQ.com. However according to expertflyer, the bulkhead seats in the smaller C cabin is still free. So I assume that these seats are currently blocked for potential status holders.
Is there a special time when SQ usually unblocks these seats? Like at Online-Checkin, or shortly before that?
Thanks!

Hi folks, turning to the wisdom of the crowd as I am very new to Singapore KrisFlyer 
I have 126K KrisFlyer miles and I'm looking to book a one way reward flight from SIN to LHR in Suites (which in the Saver bucket appears to be 142K), two questions around this:
What's the best strategy folks know for beating the waitlist for these fares?
What is my most efficient way to get the final 16K miles I need to make the booking?
Many thanks

Without calling SQ, is it possible to reserve a ticket online for say 1 week for a revenue J class booking?
last time I called they said it was a one time exception for 4 J class bookings.
Thanks!

Or transfer from credit card partners.

scoot website indicate bag check through not possible for separate booking. Unless you book the two trips together at scoot/SQ.

Any experiences with paying for bulkhead row 31 on A350 premium economy for SFO-SIN day flight? Is it worth it when traveling as a couple? Alternative is to fly the middle seats because no other two seat combination remains.
