I don't think it will necessarily be a problem. You'll have a few carriers to mix and match in *A and should be able to find seats for the trip, even with only 5-6 months advance warning. That being said, I'd start trying for the KE redemption prior to the change. Confirmed seats are always better than the potential for seats on a different carrier. I don't know that you'll necessarily find them 11 months out, but it is worth trying.
