Just got back from my trip to SIN, it was my first trip on SQ, and WOW that's something special !! Service was amazing from check-in to getting my bags - which where on the carousel before I even got there.
Am by no means a world traveller and have limited experience, but from my previous trips between ORD-LHR on BA flying both first and business class I didn't think anything would touch that - until flying business class on SQ in the A345 ! Used "book the cook" and was able to get the order in despite placing it late (morning of the flight).
Flew from ORD-LAX on AA, then LAX-SIN on SQ37 on the 16th, before returning SIN-LAX on SQ38 and then a red-eye LAX-ORD on UA on the 23rd.
Talk about being spoiled - having to "slum" it in economy on the final leg and being a nomad at LAX for the 5 hr layover with no access to lounges
Thanks for all the help, I have all of my boarding passes and will make sure that I get all of my miles credited to the applicable FFP's.

Once you log 25K miles on your UA MP, you will be 2P and will be eligible for UDU-Unlimited Domestic Upgrades on UA, so no more cramped last legs for you 
- based on availability of course

Wow - a 75 page thread !
That'll keep me busy for a few days...........
Once I get the LAX-SIN flight credited I should be at about 23.6k EQM, so will still need one more flight to hit 25k. Do you know if it has to be me travelling or could it be my wife if I add my MP # to her flight ?
