Chances are better ex-Europe or ex-South America.
For your TATL flight, there are plenty of options incl. AC, US, UA, SN, OS, LH. LH will probably be the easiest option to find any availability.
TK also is a feasible option: very good soft product, but hard product not the best IMO.
Another outside-the-box option would be ET via ADD. I quite liked the C product on the 787, but they only have a few of those and equipment changes happen often, so IŽd probably not take my chances as the 767 C product is mediocre.
Maybe Im obtuse but LX doesn't release which Awards to * Partners?
I have successfully used a SAUA through UA MileagePlus to upgrade from C to F on a ZRH-JFK recently - and I have not a week ago booked an award ticket on LX/SQ/TG ie ADL-SIN SQ C SIN-DEL SQ C DEL-ZRH LX C ZRH-TLV LX C TLV-ZRH LX C ZRH-MXP LX C MXP-BKK TG F BKK-SIN SQ C SIN-ADL SQ C for 155k miles andUS$223.07 taxes There are lots of various LX C award redemptions avaialable on UA website
