still alive. One thing I haven't figured it out. How the hell do you get to manipulate the connection - the one you want to stop before arriving to the destination? Multiple cities input is not the way to go for lowest use of miles. What gives?

If you want the <24HR connection, I think you hope it gives you what you want when it returns the search results or can you do multi-city and just manipulate the dates so that it's less than 24HR and still works?

Hi All,
Doing some planning/booking and noticed that (I think due to a systems conversion issue) SQ has released ridiculous amounts of F (O award availability) on almost all routes to *A redeption!
Grab them before they go! I suspect its an error-website says they are converting systems, but I was able to ticket no prob with UA miles.

I booked EWR-SIN in Business and also SFO-SYD on SQ15/SQ211 in F for 80k UA miles. Any way I could have squeezed in the positioning flight (JFK-SFO) and kept it the same redemption (80k)?

Amazing how I would voluntarily spend 40 hours traveling SFO-HKG-SIN-MEL when I could just take the SFO-SYD-MEL. Oh wait, that route is on UA... 
Having 12 (daylight) hours to stretch my legs in Singapore is a nice bonus.

Not sure what you mean. I booked 2 x J with Singapore today from YYZ to SIN RT on the a380 and it cost me 250k miles, and I booked 2 x F YYZ-FRA-BKK RT on the a380 and the cost was 350k miles. Spent 600k miles today!

On SQ A380, there's no F. There's R, which is higher than F and unredeemable by non-SQ members (and for SQ members, at highly inflated prices).

Well, at least this gives another reason for me to keep flying UA a little bit.

How are you getting from SIN back to North America? You could have done JFK-SFO-SYD for the same amount of miles as SFO-SYD.
