Got auto seat assignments too on both SQ and LH flights!
There is no F on the A380, the highest cabin in offered is Suites class.

Booked JFK-SFO-SIN in F on p.s. & SQ. I've never flown SQ before, so this is going to be a great way to start my 2013 RTW ^

Ummmm, you sure about that? JFK-FRA is the 388 which doesn't have F, it has R (Suites) which is not available for redemption by anyone ever IIRC.

I got 1A/2A both coming going - 6A/6C FRA-NCE and 3A/3C NCE-FRA 135,000 x 2 = 270,000 miles (updated to confirm)

If your reservation "sticks", DO NOT call SQ to change the 388 F class seats or do anything else to alert SQ of your reservation.

That is Suite class seat assignment. Did you book them through PPS or other *A carriers?

Made a change to my award ticket. I still saw availability on my old routing before making the change, so I hope that if there are new developments in the next day or so I will be able to re-book my old award. If not, I sure hope UA will do the right thing and put me on their metal.

What would an F award be on an SQ A380 route if not suites? Looks like at least some people have confirmed seat assignments that appear to be R suites on the 380.

The thing is that these availabilities seem to be taken out of Krisflyer's inventory (SQ F/J isn't impossible if you have KF miles, it's actually very available). However, even Krisflyer members cannot redeem for Suites through F inventory.

On the A380, only R, J, and Y exist.

Typically (and I realize that we are currently squarely outside of "typical" right now) there was no such thing as an F redemption on an SQ A380. Simply didn't exist because Suites are not available for awards. I do wonder how seats were assigned so quickly, especially since the whole SQ system is down right now.

What are the odds they cancel the rewards?

I booked 2 x J on the a380 to SIN via LHR and am looking for 2 x F as well via aeroplan.

Do you think they could cancel these? What is the precedent?

Snagged biz seats on SQ37 (LAX-SIN Non-stop) and a return through NRT on SQ12 (NRT-LAX A380).

Unbelievable if these stick. Both are dream flights for me!

Oh, and it was in FEB2013 so the availability is still there!

How did you assign seats? The SQ website is down, plus I don't see an SQ PNR in my confirmation on .sux
