Good morning all
I have miles in United that I want to use for travel next year, ideally on SQ. Is there a "paid service" that one can use to plan and make the necessary bookings?
Any and all recommendations greatly appreciated.

Hi baldman,
I see you didn't get any replies and so I think the answer is in the negative.
Do you mean paying someone to book your flights? most major US FF blogs offer this service. From memory it will be about $250 US pp per trip. The UA website is very intuitive and stable so it's something you should be able to do by yourself quiet easily.
Except SQ flights don't show on UA at all IIRC. So you have to be able to source the availability through alternative means, know the relevant booking windows, and then call UA and be able to guide the agent through it.

Presumably you can only access SQ regional J. Given how many members there are in star I'm not sure I'd jump through the hope to get SQ J.
meaning your fight is SYD-SIN-BKK ??
Why? Do you prefer Thai long haul?Perhaps the other way round, but starting in SIN.
Why? Do you prefer Thai long haul?
I am saving up my United miles and trying to see if I can get a convoluted routing to/from BKK because I get bored if I fly direct.
I'll need to check for myself but can you book that itinerary online? I'd love to do BKK-HKG-SIN-SYD for 30,000 miles coming home.No, I had a day in SIN to kill, so I thought it would be better to spend it flying in business class than sitting at an airport.
Arrive SIN at 00:30 on MH, now booked I class for 30,000 miles SIN-HKG (SQ 772), HKG-BKK (TG 388), BKK-SYD (TG 744).
Life could be worse, I suppose. I like TG's business class on the 388's and 77W's, but it's very ordinary on the other types.
We are in Canberra and with SA service beginning in Sept I have tried to use UA miles for a CBR-SIN booking, but the UA web page is not showing any award seats available. I have written to Milage Plus, with out response. Any suggestions for using UA miles from CBR on SA? Have used miles on TG, last one was 80K return to Penang in F....that was NICE.
I noticed you can book a regular SA flight online. Do you know if the number of points needed are the same as for SYD to BKK?
