They were missing from the list & I was questioning that because as a OW partner they should have an interline agreement. But then on the other hand I knew of a issue with luggage to Europe.. Anyways...

Ok, but to answer the OP, BA and EK indeed interline.

I will take your word for it. I am going to doubt the fact if its done on 2 separate tickets if it interlines.. Im very curious if thats the case!

Interlining has nothing to do with how it's ticketed.

Etihad, 21,972 in Y RT & 36,620 in J RT + $95 in taxes for travel on SN.

Its an amazing redemption, maybe the best value in the industry

Thank you.
As far as I know. There are 3 airlines having direct flights United  jet. Brussels, so Singapore would be with a stop ?

What if I want a nonestop ?

You mentioned the 3 that fly there :)

Correct. The question is which is the cheapest millage program to use for each ??

Use UA/AC/NH to search SN availability and then call EY to book.

Apparently it's hard to find an EY agent who can book partners. Try to HUCA a few times and report back.

Interlining has nothing to do with how it's ticketed.
That's certainly not true in certain cases. For example UA-HA.
