Looking at 3K 537 SIN-HKT which used to be marketed as QF4218.
It did exist, but does not seem to any longer. I did some searching and couldn't find any discussion of QF discontinuing the codeshares.
Any ideas? I'm trying to book this as part of a OW award ticket.

How long into the future are you looking?
There have been reports the codeshares often aren't loaded onto GDS's until a few months out.

It still exists, but it is not daily (even though the underlying 3K flight is):

First thought it might be related to QF77 PER-SIN which is the only mainland flight that can connect in time for the 2030 departure but the days don't match.

Thanks all...

Ah-ha. December 2012.
It still exists, but it is not daily
Yeah, that's strange (and too bad I'm looking to fly on Saturday!), but it seems my issue is that nothing seems to be loaded past the end of October:

I'm sure it's something like that. I'm coming from HKG; unfortunately, the KA flight from HKG-HKT is nearly impossible to book on an award.
I might just have to take an LCC from SIN, or wait a month and see what the new codeshare schedule looks like.
Thanks for the help all - much appreciated.
