The seats were wide open for a couple of months after we booked.

It can be done, just need to book early and flexibility in dates helps.
Not on SIN flights. How is it with 2 flights a day, there is almost always only WT availability yet clicking the Check Partners button will invariably show availability via Finnair, Qantas and Cathay in premium cabins? AY only has 1 flight a day. Even Cathay if you check via HK to 1 a day destinations in Europe I'll have reasonable to good availability.

Therefore there appears to be a difference. Is it a larger number of members or less allocation of reward seats?
