UA: not all partners available online (SQ)
BA: not all partners available online (AS)

But hey, apparently AS is the only airline out there who doesn't have all partners online, so you have to use other websites to get full availability...

Also... I want mixed class shown online.

SEA-LAX AS F
LAX-SYD QF F (yeah, right, but humor me)
SYD-MEL QF Y

Hmm, would I take an hour in coach on that itinerary? Mmmmmaybe... But no, let's have that hidden because it's not all in a premium class, I guess.
