Does SQ charge YQ on AC?
We have a thread dedicate to this. I will quote the wiki for you.
Quote
Singapore: No longer charges for flights on their own metal but does for partner flights except for when flying on select partners.
Note: Singapore charges a surcharge for travel on most partners, with the exceptions being United and Virgin Australia.
See this thread.

Found UA saver availability for AVP-PIT 7/2/18 w/ connection in EWR.
I'd book on SQ.com, but the online booking tool can't seem to pull up airport code AVP.
Tried booking over phone, but the rep (and manager) claims that the system prompted them to charge 12.5k for each segment. Is that normal?

Link?

Last I saw here - https://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2017/05/12/singapore-airlines-a350-900ulr-configuration/ - there was this line:

"Singapore is also rumored to be introducing a new business class product for the A350-900ULRs, so I’ll be curious to see what they come up with."

Though did not see any follow up on it in a later post.

+1, usually if the rep says it can't be done, tell him/her that you're aware that the partner can cancel the reservation at any time and they'll do it.

That direction is only possible with an overnight layover. Are you aware?

Indeed. But the flip side is that if you don't get the miles in the SQ account within a short period, the partner segments will likely be canceled.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Yes, although you'll have to pay a change fee and the difference in miles.

I have a 46k balance, and it my account dashboard says:
Required: 25,000
by 31 Jul 2019

What does that mean?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
