Married segments! You can have both but not one or the other. I saw this in early December. I was looking for LAX/SFO/YVR-HKG-CPT. Nothing available all the way through. NA-HKG was available but not HKG-CPT. However, there were two J HKG-CPT if you started in SIN. SIN-HKG-CPT is two awards with AS but since the HKG-CPT flight was not available on its own you are SOL.
I also see this with QF. Although it can not be booked with AS Mileage Plan, LAX-SYD-HKG will show availability in J or F but the same LAX-SYD flight isn't available to anyone, including QF, on its own.
