Ye Gods, I'm going to stick with Air Traffic Control in future, it's far simpler! More questions if I may. I pumped in YOW-AKL with SQ fro Feb 14 2012 and got the following under the Routing Rules:

TO SQ-SIN-SQ/MI-AKL*
If I take the first line I believe it breaks down to:
YOW to either YYZ or YVR using ONLY AC then
YYZ or YVR to SFO or LAX on AC or SQ** then
SFO or LAX to SEL or HKG on SQ only then
SEL or HKG to SIN on SQ only then
SIN to AKL on SQ or MI
Is this correct?
(would this be SQ code share? as I don't believe they fly that route)
For an Award ticket, if the flights are restricted to SQ AC and MI in this example then they are hard to find (surprise); however there is good availability on OZ and NH to SEL or HKG, is there a way to find fare-based routes that would allow an award ticket on those airlines for LAX-Asia segments?
If I put the same request in using NH as the airline I get the following:

This suggests that NH can only be used within the MPM limit which is not possible. Is this a correct interpretation?
Sorry for all the newbie questions
