There's no guarantee Plan B would work but it's 80k rt as opposed to 160k on HA
I'm looking for 2 tickets. Is that a pipe dream?

Is United plan B a better bet or trying HA?
On line I found first class for 160K round. nonstop
Unless they started flying the refitted A330 on that route yet, first class is merely recliner.

Etihad doesnt fly that route, I think you mean Emirates.

30K UA for the SQ J
33K VX for EK J

SQ J almost certainly wouldn't be available to partners on that route.

Won't find SQ on UA website. Try searching that route with AC to find availability, then call UA to confirm and book.

It hasn't been available to partners the past couple of months. Not AC or NH. VA is the exception.

I guess it changed recently. Been awhile since I searched this route with partners. Although I am seeing ex-SYD online with AC (although on very random dates):

You think SQ made such specific restrictions when allocating inventory for partners?
