Curiously, why would a SG resident insist on flying SQ, especially from a city that SQ doesn't have direct flights? I know many SG residents that don't - if it requires a transit, always more assuring to transit at another airline's home hub. Besides the price is often cheaper.
TBH though we are living in exceptional times (in terms of SQ loadings - many flights full or even oversold). In "ordinary" times a) OP might have been able to move to the earlier JetBlue flight with minimal penalty as a wider range of fare classes might have been available on the SQ flight b) probably would not have needed to worry about not losing a J seat if they missed the SQ flight as usually there might be a few spare on the flights the next day.

Yes, those are options as well! I think the key criteria now is same airline on the transfer, or at least the same alliance!
Good to know! I think this will not be our first choice going forward though.
Haha thanks!
That is a good point!
I wasn't going to try it! But I would LOVE to know the answer here if anyone else here wants to be guinea pig 
30 hours in, I think I've gain 5 lbs here! It's good to be back after 3 years away due to COVID!
Speaking as someone who flies between BOS and SIN fairly often I think separate tickets makes more sense even if SQ is willing to sell you a B6 connection — if you're fine with spending a day in JFK then booking BOS-JFK and JFK-SIN separately is usually cheaper, and it's much easier to change the BOS-JFK leg (or just switch to Amtrak) as well. Plus if you book on DL and have no checked bags you don't even need to reclear security and can get a BP printed at the gate (and if you have an SC membership you can just wait out the connection in the club as well).
As an SG residents who prefers SQ out of New York, there's always a good reason to find an excuse to stay a night in NYC, by booking a sector into NYC, and then over-nighting there before taking SQ home

For an upcoming trip to KUL, SQ was significantly cheaper than the competition. Living in central MA however, I would rather drive (3 hr with reasonable luck) to JFK than add any risk of misconnect across carriers - even though B6 provides ORH-JFK service.

You won't find it in mobile. You wont find it in any email receipt or itinerary. You have to log into the res on the jetblue website on desktop and click around the itinerary and somewhere you'll see Class: Mosaic or some such thing even though the flight is all economy. At least this was true in July. Print that out, and show that to the people guarding the Mosaic line and they'll let you through. Conversely, without that, they won't let you through, even though it's a SQ biz ticket and it would make sense. They are just looking for the word "Mosaic" printed somewhere with your itinerary.
Good luck!

UA to SQ is codeshare on one ticket even better.
