You might consider booking very far in advance because last year Mr. Nacho used his SAS points for a SQ flight - we needed 5 tickets and we booked 4 using our SQ miles and it was fine, plenty of availbility. Then when we called SAS to redeem the last ticket - they said they were only given 4 seats for that particular departure.

We booked the flight in March and it was for a flight in during x'mas - 9 months ahead.
