Is this working only for UA? I have 110K US air miles to burn and wondering if anyone else is using other partner miles to book.

I just got off the phone trying to change an existing reservation and the agent said it wasn't possible. Even though it shows online. I'm pretty sure he didn't know what he was doing because he was trying to route me through NRT even though I plainly read the routing I was looking at. I know hang up and try again but, will probably just let it rest. I hope this sticks and everyone gets to enjoy their trip on SQ

If SQ eventually accepts all these reservations that are made, I wonder what would happen if we need to make a change to them. For instance, my SQ flights are to and from LHR and SIN. My flights between LHR and YYZ are with AC. If I change the AC flights to some other ones down the line (without changing the SQ flights) would the ticket have to be re-issued and thus possibly cancelled by SQ? They'd probably look for any reason to cancel them.
Also, I booked the flights through Aeroplan.com and got an E-ticket itinerary/receipt. Does that mean that it is ticketed, or do I need some other sort of confirmation?

Was able to book GRR-IAH-DME-SIN (1.5 hour stop in DME) and then SIN-HKG-SFO-CLE-GRR return (1.5 hr stop in HKG).
US And aeroplan showing inventory. Even someone on SQ's thread said he saw SQ F on Miles&More.
When I was booking my return with a UA agent, she actually had to call SQ to clear up a glitch and SQ came back confirming the seats...

I'm not seeing any 2x F seat availability on SFO-SIN anymore. But still see lots of places with 1 F seat.

Thanks for the replies. Will try US Air then.
Would be great if I do redeem something. Never flown F on SQ!

There are other things that could go wrong though ...
- If you ticket on UA, SHARES could drop the segment
- An inexperienced agent could accidentally drop the SQ segment during a change
- The eTicket record could become unlinked from the reservation causing SQ's system to cancel the segments
- Probably more ...

Advice
Never flown SQ in J so I need help, I have a choice of A340 and A380 where A340 is better suited where time of flight is concerned.
Is there a lot of difference between the 2 flights as I am exicted about the A380 but would prefer A340 as the timing is better suited to me.
