Yes. Regional J was what I was referring too...

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I see SQ J on the 772 on ANA/KVS. Are these bookable on the phone?

Is there even a possibility of finding an J or F award on SQ? I have looked on so many dates and routes (long haul and regional) and have not seen one J or F award ticket.

You can't book long haul (new) F and J. For long haul, one can only book 747s (and I don't think many are around anymore). Otherwise one is stuck with regional J. And good luck finding that even.

Wow that's a bummer. On Aeroplan I think I found something. I have found a 772 SIN-FCO and a 773 SIN-SYD. Do I have to call to get it booked? Are the 380 and 77W used on regional routes?

Call to get it booked.

You can't book the A380/77W even if they are on regional routes, I should've worded that better. SQ blocks their new long-haul cabins on all routes.

I know it's a long shot but what about the EWR/LAX-SIN non stop?

This aint true.

Theres an A380 JFK-FRA and they do release C seats there occasionally.

I could find SQ business class awards on the old CO website and the new UA website for a while. But no more. What is the matter with UA?

There are no 747s left in SQ's passenger fleet.

If it's available on AC's sight then it should be avaialble by CALLING UA.

Some of those cabins have been called new for 4 years now.

A better statement would be that all A380/77W, with sporadic exceptions for C, are not bookable.

You need to call to book.

Like suites class: the class "beyond" first. Is that zeroth class, or second class?

I don't believe this is true. I've seen quite a bit of LH and SQ phantom availability on AC.
