So for example, if you were to search for PEK-SIN - you will get a variety of combinations of TG or OZ, and SQ/BR may be downgraded because AC does not charge a fuel surcharge on them. If there are more than 6 combos of the former, you may not see the latter at all.
For my search yesterday and today of MLE-SIN, there was only one game in town on that route (two SQ flts/day), and some days were showing as unavailable on Aeroplan through Flisea, but UA was seeing (and was able to ticket) availability.
