Had a ticket on hold in my account.
Just purchased it 5 minutes ago and it ticketed without a problem.

Even with their systems back up, it seems J availability for SIN-MLE is still much better.

Hope this is permanent!

Yeah, SQ has basically said flat out they'd be bringing it to you... that'd be retaaaaahded. Literally the most unattainable award in this game, AFAIK.

Well, it seems we may move our trip to Europe 2 days earlier in order to get the SQ a380, and in so doing miss a friend's wedding here. Worth it? :-)

As long as we were going to AMS early, I threw in 3 days in Paris. We are also thinking about doing ZRH or FCO
I will transfer in the UR when I am ready to book. until then, UA allows me to hold the ticket becase I have insufficient miles in my account. 

Here's what we have on hold:


Mon., Aug. 6, 2012 | New York, NY (JFK) to Paris, France (CDG)
Depart: 8:35 p.m. Mon., Aug. 6, 2012 New York, NY (JFK)
Arrive: 10:45 a.m. +1 Day Tue., Aug. 7, 2012 Frankfurt, Germany (FRA)
Flight Time: 8 hr 10 mn
Flight: SQ25 Airbus A380-800
Fare Class: Business (I)
 
Connect time in Frankfurt, Germany (FRA) is 1 hr 20 mn.
Depart: 12:05 p.m. Tue., Aug. 7, 2012 Frankfurt, Germany (FRA)
Arrive:1:15 p.m. Tue., Aug. 7, 2012 Paris, France (CDG)
Flight Time: 1 hr 10 mn
Flight: LH1034
Aircraft: Airbus A319
Fare Class: Business (I)


Fri., Aug. 10, 2012 | Paris, France (CDG) to Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS)
Depart: 8:50 a.m. Fri., Aug. 10, 2012 Paris, France (CDG)
Arrive: 10:20 a.m. Fri., Aug. 10, 2012 Munich, Germany (MUC)
Flight: LH2227
Operated by Lufthansa Cityline.
Aircraft: E95
Fare Class: Economy (X)
 
Change Planes. Connect time in Munich, Germany (MUC) is 50 mn.
Depart: 11:10 a.m. Fri., Aug. 10, 2012 Munich, Germany (MUC)
Arrive: 12:45 p.m. Fri., Aug. 10, 2012 Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS)
Flight: LH2304
Operated by Augsburg Airways (Lufthansa Regional).
Aircraft: E95
Fare Class: Economy (X)
 
Wed., Aug. 15, 2012 | Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS) to New York/Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty)
Depart:9:15 a.m. Wed., Aug. 15, 2012 Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS)
Arrive: 11:45 a.m.  Wed., Aug. 15, 2012 New York/Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty)
Travel Time: 7 hr 30 mn
Flight: UA71 Aircraft: Boeing 757-200
Fare Class: United Economy (X)

TOTAL COST: 80K (UA) + $125 p/p
I'm not too crazy about spending nearly 5 hours in economy on regional jets just to get from Paris to Amsterdam. I will likely look for a better routing Being that this is *A, there is no non-stop to AMS from CDG.

I suspect we will be able to tolerate Y on the way home. At least it's a day-time flight.

Is it 80,000 because you have two stops?
