I have been offered SQ J - but only after submitting a screen-shot booking and the availability in that had disappeared by the time they processed it. As an example, in 2019 I needed to request a screenshot booking for ICN-BKK-SYD on TG. ICN-BKK and BKK-SYD were showing, but nothing or ICN-SYD. By the time LM got back to me the TG availability had gone, but they offered me ICN-SIN-SYD on SQ, all in J.

The call centre wouldn't have been able to see the SQ-SQ, And LM only offered it because TG had gone.
