How to upgrade a codeshare flight
One segment (FRA - SIN) of a RTW in business class is on Signapore Airlines booked under a LH codeshare flight number (LH9762). The whole RTW was booked through UA where I have most of my miles accumulated. I do have miles at M&M as well. How can I upgrade this segment?

No upgrade on SQ with UA miles I am afraid.
Looks possible with LH Miles & More according to the *A web site:
http://www.staralliance.com/en/trave...de_awards.html
However, this may be LH's out - "upgrades are subject to certain fare class and availability conditions with the participating programmes and carriers"
However, if they won't do the codeshare, you could always have the ticket re-issued (and pay the fee) but I'd check there is availability first!

No upgrade possible on code-share
I'm afraid to inform you that you will not be able to upgrade a code-share flight.

Yes quite allowable as long as operating airline is *A and not in an excluded flight number range.
On my latest RTW I had a couple of codeshares since no availability in business under the operating airline code but there was availability on the codeshare.

I dont think the ticket needs to be re-issued. AFAIK you can change carriers (keeping routing and date the same) and just revalidate without reissue.
