I just tried and got "Our website is experiencing difficulties at the moment and we are unable to process your request. We apologise for the inconvenience caused." Is there anything wrong with my pc?

IF you like me still find the on-line reservation a PITA send a formal complaint to SIA.
The e-mail address is [email protected]
Its very annoying that multi-city fares (at least ones Ive tried) don't work properly and that to get itineraries fixed you end up either telephoning SIA or turning up to the service centre - both of which cost you fees. I meet with two service centre agents today and both confessed that they had been barraged with complaints about the on-line system.
Its also a shame that there is not better co-ordination between SIA and its *A partners over pricing and special deals. To cite one ridiculous example Y SIN-AKL return is SG$ 1540 (incl. tax), Y SIN-WLG return is SG$ 3137 (incl. tax). The reason the additional AKL-WLG sector, all 479km of it [and despite it having an SQ flight number on *A NZ metal] denies the discounted SIN-AKL sector. The result a full fare on both sectors

Those that are PPS I suggest feeding complaints through your co-ordinator. They are as fed up as we are but we need to give them the feedback.
BTW once the site is finally fixed I will be tallying how much business SQ has lost during this period and sending this through too.

Can someone please explain this issue I am having with the SQ web booking engine?
What I want to do: Travel from KUL-SFO on separate days with a fewer than 24 hour stopover/layover in SIN.
Day X
SQ117 KUL-SIN
Day Y
SQ2 SIN-SFO
The SQ website Stopover/Multi-city search will not allow me to price that on separate days, but the One Way seach will allow me to price it provided that all of the travel is on the same operating day (which, is not what I am looking for). Is there a way around this? I have tried specific flight time (and not) for the multi city search but to no avail.
I have submitted a web feedback survey as well as an email to the North American web support address, but I have not heard anything back.
I have also called the North American web support desk and the person said that the website would not allow it for her either but that I could make the exact same reservation through the (800) reservations number. Of course, if I wanted to, I could book this on ITN or Travelocity or even call the (800) number, but I am just wondering why I cannot select these same flights on their own website. The fare and city pairs are obviously loaded because I can book the same itinerary for the same day.
Does anyone know why I am unable to do this through their website? Thanks in advance.

The above is not an option for me because KUL-SIN-HKG-SFO prices out night and day less expensive than KUL-SIN (OW) and SIN-SFO (OW) as separate tickets.

I just plugged in the exact itinerary I wanted on united.com and it let me build it and price it correctly as a Multi-city search. I didn't book it, but I just find it frustrating that I can do it on any other site I look to, other than SQ's.

Hooray!
The multi-city option works much better now! ^ I was able to check what the airfare to the 2006 Bali DO would cost me if I booked right now
, allowing for a multi-day stopover in SIN on the way back to LHR.
The website still can't seem to handle BKK turnarounds, and the new method of bundling your options for you feels more cumbersome than the old way, in which you constructed your multi-city trip yourself.
It's about time, SQ.

There was no result found for the search criteria. Please change your criteria and resubmit.
I have checked for specific times and anytime, and I cannot get search results either way.
Any suggestions?
