Asia’s top carrier has made it a practice not to discount premium seats from the US — until now. Forget about the MasterCard $1,000-off promo we reported last month; now the airline has teamed up with United, its Star Alliance partner, via United’s Ameniti.com “travel club,” to offer free Business Class companion tickets.

The Applicable Routes

• Los Angeles-Tokyo and Singapore (but only on SQ11/12, not on non-stop A345 service)
• New York (JFK)-Frankfurt and Singapore (but only on SQ25/16, not on non-stop A345 service)
• San Francisco-Seoul and Singapore (but only on SQ15/16)
• Two-for-one tickets also apply to onward travel from Singapore to Bali, Bangkok, Chennai (India), Male (Maldives), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur and Penang (Malaysia).

The Fine Print

The offer is valid for travel through Nov. 30, 2005, but only on departures from Sunday through Thursday. There is no minimum stay required (maximum stay is 30 days). Tickets are fully refundable but itinerary changes cost $100, and both passengers must travel on the same itinerary. Circle-trips and open-jaws ARE allowed. A stop-over is permitted at Frankfurt, Tokyo, Seoul, or Singapore Sunday through Thursday only. Seats are subject to D class availability.
