PPS with one *RTW in C?

This is probably a strange question but I hope you can help me here. I'll have a *RTW trip in C next year (not sure which one I'll take but much likely 29k or 34k). A lot of flights will be with SQ metal. So I thought it might be worth to double dip and credit the segments towards PPS. My simple question is if it is theoretical possible to become PPS with just one RTW in C and a good routing?

Thanks in advance!

I was under the impression that the previous 24 pages were more or less about that??? (trying to get 25 sectors or more!)

To be fair to flylogic, I think he / she started a separate thread, and that thread has been merged with this one

, presumably by our moderator, although he did not leave any "fingerprints" behind...

Just realized you can earn SQ PPS sectors on the following VS routes:

Miles - Business Class Sector Earn

UK to N.A
LHR-BOS 3265 - 2.5
LHR-LAX 5456 - 3.75
LHR-MIA 5425 - 3.75
LHR-SFO 5367 - 3.75
LHR-IAD 3677 - 2.5
MAN-MCO 4236 - 2.5

UK to M.E.
LHR-DXB 3421 - 2.5

Asia to Australia
SIN-SYD 3907 - 2.5

My question is if I fly from LHR to SFO on VS business class I'll entitle 3.75 sector on SQ KrisFlyer program? Does this 3.75 count towards part of the 25 sectors PPS renewal? I don''t know where to find out whether that portion of the VS flight will carry any SQ code share flight number...?

My planned itinerary from SIN=>LHR=>SFO=>HKG=>SIN

Another question is can I fly this route on the Star Alliance Round The World business class even though VS is not a Star Alliance member yet, someone told me you can leave 1 sector for open jaw, for example from Europe to the U.S. ...?

I think I'll leave this to the RTW experts. But as VS is not a *partner, you will not be able to use VS in RTW itins.

Yes, you are able though to earn PPS club miles and sectors, as well as KrisFlyer miles flying either SQ, MI or VS. It is stated in the membership guide.

You can only earn PPS sectors on VS metal only if that flight is SQ-coded.

You want either a pure SQ RTW or an Escapade RTW. To get the PPS sectors for the VS segment, make sure that flight is ticketed with the SQ flight number rather than the VS flight number.
