Only 1 mileage seat on every flight?

I'm trying to book 2 seats on an ANC-GUM itinerary and the system comes up with nothing when I try but plenty of options when I drop it down to 1 traveler. I've checked every day for a 2-4 month period and get the same thing. I'm going to call later but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone.
I use miles every year (but first time for this itinerar) and this has never happened.

How are you using AS miles to GUM? ANC-SEA-NRT-GUM on DL? AS doesn't fly to GUM.

DL is not particularly generous with the award inventory, and AS is using their inventory. Your beef may be with DL.

That is one of several routes and yes a combo with Delta. I don't have a beef, just trying to find out what others have experienced with award availability. I will call the partner desk and see what they can find. This is my first time using miles to get to the Pacific. I normally use them for the Caribbean or to get to Houston or Miami on the way there.

One seat seems so little, though.

Try looking for space out of Deltas west coast gateway cities first. If you can find that space for 2, then see what you can match up from ANC to the Gateway using Multi city

Ive often found award inventory to Bubble Gum aka Guam for 2

on a side note I think the longest flight Ive ever been on was GUM-FAI on a C130
