-.5  in the us more than 4 hours is considered a stopover as opposed to everywhere else in the world where only over 24 hours is considered a stopover

It's not just the time, even if you want to use your allowed stopover they won't allow it in the US. I booked Den-Panama and wanted to stopover in Houston and they wouldn't allow it all but would allow a stopover in Cancun on the way back.

Is there a way to find out the YQ on various SQ partner redemptions (without having to call)? I'm specifically trying to find out JFK-TLV, flying TK or LX, and RT vs OW if that matters.

Thanks, great idea. When I look there, should I be focusing on the YQ/YR alone, or would I likely be paying all the other fees (ie total less fare).

Could I do it online and get the 15% discount or do I need to call in?

Because its different classes you may have problems doing it online. If that's the case you can call in and you may have to nicely remind the CSR that because you weren't able to do it online because the different classes they should still give you the 15% off.

Attention!

Changes to sq coming in effect March 23
Thank you for your support as a KrisFlyer member.

We conduct regular reviews to keep the KrisFlyer programme updated. Following a recent review, we will be making these changes:

Revisions to Saver Award levels in the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir Award Chart have been made to ensure that flight rewards remain sustainable yet competitive. We had last made adjustments to award levels in various zones in 2012.


The 15% discount for redemption and redemption upgrade bookings made through our website and mobile channels will be discontinued, and the same redemption fare will be applied across all channels.


Fuel and insurance surcharges will be removed from all redemption award tickets on Singapore Airlines and SilkAir operated flights.

The above changes and the revised Award Chart will be effective for redemption and redemption upgrade bookings ticketed on/after 23 March 2017.

Saver didnt go up across the board. Only in some zones. Unless of course you are referring to 15% being gone. Then yes, it all went up in saver world.

Is it worth booking now on a route with taxes in order to try and convince them to drop it afterwards?

I have a TLV-FRA-JFK LH F flight booked for tomorrow with SQ miles. The FRA-JFK flight was cancelled. What are my options if I want to switch to a flight to ORD, WAS, MCO etc. instead, and do I need to do it through Lufthansa or Singapore?
