SQ participates in the standard *A RTW fares, as well as various airline-specific RTW fares (eg SQ/VS/NZ). There is a thread in the *A forum (with link in the sticky *A useful reference links) about the non-standard *A RTWs.

SQ has their own RTW fare for travel on SQ tin only. It is very good value compared with other RTW fares such as *A, Oneworld, or specific airline combination specials. I am about to embark on a SQ only RTW fare in 1st class: MEL-SIN-SFO, JFK-SIN(via FRA), SIN-MEL with a non SQ SFO-JFK segment paid separately.

That is an incredible price for SQ only RTW fares from the US and Canada
First Class US$6,699*
Business Class US$5,299*
Economy Class US$2,266*
The * conditions must be strict and seats very limited...

One has to be quite imagative in crafting a SQ only RTW itinerary due to "no back-tracking" and the fact that many routes end/start in SIN. Last October, I did SFO/SIN/DXB/IST (surface to FRA) and then FRA/JFK. All in F! The SQ only RTW rules were "grey" (at least to me), about using SIN more than once as a stopover point.

I can't figure out how an all SQ trip would be possible from Western USA/Canada. Anyone have any insights?

Yes.
You may do IAH-MOW-DXB-SIN-BKK-NRT-LAX too if you want...

My main concern is what type of available does SQ give its own RTW fares. If it is ultra-tight, then it is useless. Given all of the restrictions SQ puts on fares due to their new business and suites, it could make an RTW almost pointless.

This is what I'm trying to do. I have a business class ticket being paid for of unlimited cost for travel to TPE.
YVR-LAX-TPE return is $7k'ish in J.
I figure I could do an SQ RTW in F which is a touch less cash.
Something like:
LAX-TPE-SIN-MOS-HOU
or
LAX-TPE-SIN-JFK
I couldn't find a max mileage rule for the SQ RTW.
Maybe throw SIN-SYD in the middle of the above?
