Booked in July 14; 2 x Saver F/R as follows for April/May 2015:
MEL-SIN 2 x 50,000 pts
SIN-NRT 2 x 37,500 pts
NRT-LAX 2 x 62,500 pts
JFK-FRA 2 x 62,500 pts plus A$1340 x 2 in Tax, Surcharges for that part of the RTW
then separately a month ago using VA points:
SIN-MEL 2 x 63,750 pts plus A$255 in Tax etc.
So only need to pay for LAX-NYC and will buy LH F from FRA-SIN so I can try their lounge (and I am out of points).
Obviously not something we can do every year but really looking forward to the trip. Almost all points earned from flights.
Were these booked separately or under MEL-SIN-NRT-LAX as 1 ticket?
We are taking a stopover of a few days in both locations (SIN, NRT) so think probably separate sector bookings as there are no stopovers on OW Saver redemptions even for $100 (I believe). I did book this a few months ago and the MEL-LAX, NYC-FRA booking took some time with the help of the PPS Coordinator in MEL and the excellent people at the KF Callcentre as the points had to come from two accounts (Mr and Mrs MEL-World) using the nominee function.
Having said that the entire booking appears under one booking reference # for each passenger
Got 1 x JFK-FRA-SIN-AKL for mid-December 2015, all in Suites (SQ is showing AKL is still operated by the A380 next Winter)
Feel extremely lucky considering the JFK-SIN segment was already on waitlist for that particular day, but to AKL it was available. Only time the married segments logic has worked in my favour - typically if I do a JFK-AKL search it will come back Waitlisted even though both are available separately.

No this is not correct - stopover are possible on Saver Awards you just need pay US$100 - indeed MEL-SIN-NRT-LAX possible to have stopover at both SIN and NRT at US$100 ea - some KF agents may not be too familiar with this but be persistent and do not be afraid to request manager if rep helping you not getting quite what you want.
FWIW: Dep MEL-SIN June 15 in F then 2 nts SIN then SIN-CDG in R - stopover in SIN US$100/pax.

First I have heard of this news. Do you have a link to the rumours? I have only been in Suites once before so the experience is something I was hoping I could enjoy for a few more years.
