Either does AV, but I posted it, too.  8)
But at least you can buy AV on the cheap. May as well use it for LH F over UA J, but who's counting.

Anyway there's a reason I never looked too closely at A3.  Prob the first time I've see Israel in Africa though.

Lol, http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=6649.0

Could work, too, yet I'd miss out on Mrs. Dan's famed cooking.

Where do I sign up for that?

SQ does not fly the A380 to EWR, only to JFK.

JFK-FRA-SIN
SIN-ZRH
SIN-CDG
SIN-LHR
SIN-NRT-LAX
SIN-HKG
SIN-SYD

Search on SQ.com for saver.

Yeah... By saying he should check for saver award you gave an impression that it would be available for partners. At least for me.

I included that to say that so that he shouldn't see "standard" or "full" and say, "yippee! I can fly to SIN in R now because it's available!" :)

Sorry for the confusion.

So when JFK-FRA in is available in J (SAVER) can I call UA and have it booked?

YMMV, though I think that route is particularly slim.
