I would not call SQ unless you already know there are flights with space available.
+1. Search on UA, ANA, or AC first.

And best time to call SQ is Between 9:00 pm and 5:00 am EST, I found to have the least waiting time on their daytime operation hours.

To answer your second question, no i dont. Just passing through there.
looks like PPT-LAX is much more difficult to book in J as many days they only have 1 flight. Challenge accepted!

And yours does not belong here as well.

Only thing that belongs here is an award that you made. Not trying to find a good value

EWR-ATL-CUN First/Business

CUN-JFK Business

77.5K Delta

Over Christmastime when coach tickets were 70K, so decent value.

Nothing with good times that didn't require 15 hour layovers, and nothing direct. Would rather use up Delta anyways.
