Just based on the activity seen here and on Lucky's blog I would guess a couple of thousand. Clearly I have no idea and SQ revenue management is going to have a potential nightmare on their hands.

Thanks a lot to OP and FTers. I ticketed a few awards involving SFO-HKG, SIN-MUC, NRT-LAX in either F of 77W or J of 388 in the summer and holiday season. Someone just grabbed the last EWR-SIN on my preferred date when I was on hold with US (as lowly non-elite on US).

I don't like calling airlines but called to the premier desk at UA and asked for the SQ conf number. No go. Told me to ask SQ. did not want to be on the phone with UA too long and not going to callSQ when they are in the midst of systems nightmare

Will let you guys know if it gets covered in the media here.
I bet many PPS and Solitaire members are feeling very cheated about this glitch.
Now they'll have to redeem their KF miles at Standard / Full rates.

Booked LAX-SIN, SIN - KUL, KUL- LAX on both Biz and first class for 130k miles from United.
Can I get an extra leg from LAX to YVR for free?

This is going to be a nightmare for SQ. I assume the offices are closed being that it's Sunday....wait until, oh, 7-8pm ET tonight when they open in SIN and the office gets hit with this. There's no way this is going to be a "drop in the bucket" in the world of airline seats.
Curious to see what happens...

Thanks OP! Changed from CX F to SQ F LAX-SFO-HKG on the 777 in F for honeymoon. Return is still on CX. The SQ outbound is more convienent for our schedule and looking forward to comparing the two different F products.
Now who knows the best seats for a couple on the SQ flight? It's 1-2-1 so I'm assuming the front row of the middle section - currently have 1C and 1D.
Also I was tempted to change our return on CX F (BKK-HKG-LAX) to mixed F/J on UA and SQ (BKK-NRT in UA F (747) and then NRT-LAX on the SQ A380 in J). It would give us an extra day on the ground, but is this crazy talk? Surely SQ J is not better than CX F?

Strongly suggest you don't cancel other reservations
mattolo, I assume that if you're posting here that your CX F reservations were award as well. Regardless, I'd strongly suggest that you not cancel them (or if you have canceled them, that you quickly try to restore them). We don't know how this whole business will play out with SQ. We can hope that the SQ F reservations will be honored, but until that's certain I would definitely not cancel anything in expectation of everything working out with SQ.
