So I saw United Saver availability on my dates on the UA website for a Flight EWR-BRU-TLV but Singapore says they dont see availability from their end. 

How can I check that the UA Saver actually has Singapore Availability.  Why couldnt i book with Singapore miles?

Try to HUCA and ask them to check each segment separately.

In order to book a United flight with Singapore do I have to call them?

Just ensure the space is available to partners (search on AC) not just to Singapore's own members

This actually all sounds like good news although I wonder if the catch is that since there are no more full awards that they will just have less total availability?

All except for Europe 1 prices going up.

Maybe I missed something or it's different because I'm looking at flights actually on SQ leaving the West Coast to Asia but they looked the same to me.

I'll explain my comment.

It's all mostly good news (the fact that almost nothing is changing), except the fact that Europe 1 rates are being combined into Europe 2.

This could've been so much worse (as is the case with every other airline deval we've seen recently).

Is full YQ charged tlv-zrh-lhr? $180ish

[high end hobo]

Is full YQ charged tlv-zrh-lhr? $180ish

its only showing up as like $44 in YQ for me.
are you referring to a J or Y cabin?
I think you're confusing YQ and APD

I'm looking at J. You're correct, I'm looking at all taxes and fees but even just YQ I'm seeing ~$108.

[SLMYRCB]

I called LON branch and was on hold for 15min.
Called Singapore branch and am still on hold 20+ min already.
Ridiculous. Any Eitzes?

ETA: Just confirmed that it is $180 pp for taxes and fees from TLV-ZRH-LHR on J

Can SQ hold TK J while points are being transferred?

[CS91]

Can SQ hold TK J while points are being transferred?

Can't speak for TK but I've gotten them to hold UA and A3 for me. CMIIW, but I think that they can hold any airline, but most reps are just reluctant to do it. Gotta HUCA a few times.

Thanx, I knew about UA, although per reports UA can cancel the hold anytime.

True, but IME, they don't.
