Can one do RTW in F with SQ only?

Just curious, can one actually fly around the world on SQ only in First class? I saw that SQ has a great fare RTW on SQ only...

Only possible routing that I could come up with is:

JFK-FRA-SIN-EWR

But the SIN-EWR is in C class only

One could also start on the US West Coast and finish on the East Coast or vice versa. There is no requirement that the final destination be in the same city, only the same country.

That some flights don't have F class doesn't prevent buying an F fare.

If you start in SFO and end in JFK, you can go F the whole way.

SFO-HKG-SIN-FRA-JFK.

And the fare is really good, too.

Doesn't the opposite direction work as well? JFK-FRA-SIN-HKG-SFO?

What are the C and F fares?

Yes, of course, both directions work.

C is about $3900, and F is about $6300. If the itin includes the new LAX/EWR to SIN nonstops, a $150 surcharge per relevant nopstop segment is assessed. The exception to the surcharge is if the C pax wants to sit in Y on the ultra longhaul nonstop, or the F pax want to sit in C (yeah, right!)

Still, a darn good fare! Business Class is booked in D class, and First Class (I think) is A class.

Last time I asked SQ reservation in the US, can not include CGK, because of backtracking. And the SQ RTW only not available from everywhere (At least not from Vancouver)

I don't think there is anything wrong. It makes more sense if you are doing a C trip not F, eventhough you have to pay surcharge for EWR-SIN nonstop.
If you want to travel in F, it's better to have SQ/CO RTW (SQ only $6046 SQ/CO $6118). SQ only RTW is valid max 3 months. SQ/CO will be a year validity.
