My Bad. I made the mistake of checking the AS award chart and no JAL listed from US or Asia to India.

JL considers India to be North Asia.

I know, just roll with it...

As eponymous_coward pointed out, it is available. The AS award chart does not list it but it is available. What dates are you looking at?

AA does not show JAL awards online. Did you call AA to check? BA, AA, QF, are all OneWorld partners so I would think they should have the same availability. AS is an independent partner so their availability may be different (but I doubt it). It could be a POS issue if non-AS partners disagree.

The awards are available at BA, QF and AA (by phone). That leaves only AS; even their phone agent didn't see it and didn't know what could be going on. Could be some OneWorld and non-OneWorld difference, or just AS specific, there is no way for us to know. I still want the stopover, so will keep checking AS.

I am looking at SGN to Singapore via JAL and stopover in Tokyo for a few days.

I have availability on single flights between sgn to tokyo and tokyo to Singapore for the dates in dec. And sgn to tokyo to Singapore on nost days in Dec.

However, if my Tokyo to Singapore leg falls after 24th Dec, then the whole SGN-HND-SIN shows zero availability but available every single other day before.

But SGN/HND/SIN is available separately on the specific days.

Check with BA showed excellent availability.is this a search engine glitch? Or just not releasing? Should i call a alaskan helpdesk?

No business available from Dec 26-29 between Tokyo and Singapore

NRT-SIN from Dec 30th. HND-SIN from Jan 1st.

don’t use tyo to search. Use NRT, you can see NRT-SIN on Dec 30th.

edit: can use TYO, too

General time period Jan 8-18. We are flexible on exact dates. AS does show availability on some of those days. However, they don't see the same availability on same days as AA/BA/QF.

Jan 18th only opens today.

Please note that AS award schedule opens much later than other program.

As mentioned, AS has problems booking JL near end of schedule. Try back later.

Now not available. So you are right but as of last week, there were some availability on 28 and 29. Sad.
