Wanna go NYC-ZRH round trip but want to push in one seg on SQ Suites. What would be the best way to book on either of the following routs. As far as I know the only way to book the suites is with KrisFlyer miles. How should I book the other segments? with SQ or?

JFK-FRA-ZRH-NYC or NYC-ZRH-FRA-NYC
 
Thanks!
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

you will find availability easier to FRA vs from FRA. Besides why not book it as OW to ZRH via FRA?

Thanks for your response!
I looked into it. For a OW via FRA I'll have to pay the *A award price which is 80k vs. booking it separate JFK-FRA for 57.5 and then FRA-ZRH -let say- for 15k UA miles = 72.5

My only question now, is there a better way to book the FRA-ZRH leg?

Exactly my plan. The question is will Singapore book me NYC all the way to zrh ? Or they will say "we don't fly there " if they will. Is it for the same amount of miles 57500?

Sorry. I did not see the reply

You can book jfk-fra with sq & see how much a paid rt is fra-zrh. Sometimes it can be very cheap

It's a 50 minute flight, it may be quicker to drive there.
