Really not seeing any AS, but I have mostly been looking at non-stops. I'm guessing awardtracker isn't 100%? I don't think it's a matter of the flights only being available sometimes. I haven't found it once and have searched a lot.
Also, if the award flight isn't showing up on BA or SQ's websites, is there a chance they are available by phone?

So it would cost you 6,667 points for every $100 in airfare. And you earn miles when you fly.
We do have CSR, so yes this is an option. Would save me about 20% on points if I could do it through awards. But would rather pay extra for non-stop. We have 2 young children and don't want to deal with a stopover.
