Aeroplan award on *A partners

I am interested to use aeromiles for business SIN-TOKYO for next year visit.

any idea how far in advance do other alliances release business class tickets to aeromiles?

ANA has ok availability but i have to pay taxes. was thinking about either eva or SQ where i do not have to pay YQ

Anywhere from 330 days out up to a few days before departure. SQ puts all their 77W and A380 on the NRT route so there won't be premium cabin award space, so with Aeroplan you could only head to HND on SQ.

Intra-Asia premium awards have pretty good availability even close to flight time though as noted, SQ still embargoes premium awards to STAR partners on its newest A380s and 77Ws.

Eva Air seems to be blocking seats from partners until 3 months in advance or so too for flights to Tokyo

i dont mind HND, but i cant find any availability in J for April to July period. Only air china, ANA and Asiana. Would love to try Eva/SQ...

ANA has very high charges!

You can do the following to reduce the YQ,

SIN-HKG J on SQ (stopover in HKG)
HKG-NRT J on NH
NRT-SIN J via TPE on BR
