so outside of fees, are there some sweet spots for UA flights that are less miles than when purchased direct from UA?

Singapore Air to Hawaii and Central America, Caribbean are only 35k miles on the exact same United flights, with free stopovers and open jaw...better deal when booked with SQ. ;)

right, got confused by the table being RT vs. OW. NYC-HNL OW would be 40k UA vs. 30 SQ (or so it looks like).

Thanks. Nice to be able to count on DDF sometimes for a quick reply especially when you're on the phone with two airlines at once.

+1, but YMMV if they'll actually remember to charge you.

Can you book EWR-HNL-OGG/LIH with SQ or can you only do EWR-HNL?

Only to EWR-HNL since they don't partner with the Hawaiian airlines.

I am trying to book JFK-FRA-KRK. Because FRA-KRK would need to be on a partner they want to charge it as a separate Europe to Europe award and it would not be included in the mileage on the SQ ticket.
Is that right? I am booking one award through SQ from North America to Europe and they want to charge me separately for segments?
I am just confirming that the info provided was correct.
Thanks

If I am wait listed for a suite and it doesn't clear do I still get a coach seat or i don't fly? And do I get the miles back?

The miles are never taken until the waitlisted seat clears and you confirm it. You also won't get a differente *available* seat in case the Suite doesn't clear by just waitlisting the Suite.
