Note: Chart only allows contiguous US and Alaska as "USA", however, AS connecting flights to Hawaii/Canada/Mexico are allowed. No chart for USA-Europe (though in theory you could redeem SIN-USA or USA-SIN routing on SQ onestops involving Europe and get off the plane in FRA/MAN, pretty high price in miles though). Stopover in SIN not allowed on regional awards (Intra-Asia,including South Pacific) not touching US.
"North Asia" includes China (PEK/PVG) as per latest update by AS. South Pacific is Australia/New Zealand

interlining baggage
Not sure if anyone has asked this before, but if i am flying AS from SEA to LAX on an economy cash ticket, and then on a separate F (award) ticket to NRT, would 1) AS check my bags through and 2) give me the luggage allowance of 2x 32kg as SQ is the most significant carrier for the trip?
trying to see if i can be cheap and save on the checked bag fee on AS...

At the risk of just missing the obvious, it looks like SQ inventory has been pulled from Alaska.
I was looking for a seat from the US to Perth in October or November and I know that SQ is the usual partner that comes up on that route but nothing showed for the week I was looking. Then I went the week before and after; nothing. Then I checked the entire month and then November. 0. So then I checked just to SIN in October, November, and a few weeks in March and April and there are no flights showing. Did I miss a post that talks about this?

Maybe SQ is doing updates? Removing all partner award inventory? Who knows.

SQ has removed all inventory from all partners. *A and others. only Krisflyer members have access to SQ awards now.
My guess is that SQ has discovered the mistakes that it released its previously-blocked premium class inventories to partners.
It should be online after they fix the mistake.
correction: not all apparently. at least lifemiles still shows SQ awards available. BR also shows, but errors out when trying to select

Other than you still can't book them using AS miles?
Trust me, if AS does the "we're not partners with SQ" thing like what happened with AM (where we lost ability to book awards first, then the partnership collapsed) it'll be on the blogs and FT in about 5 minutes in huge "ZOMG THE SKY IS FALLING" headlines. Not surprisingly, an airline that's losing a hundred million or so in cash every month and has to furlough a lot of employees because of COVID-19 probably isn't making fixing their award engine a priority (if it's even their fault, could just be SQ blocking). It's not like their primarily North American customer base is doing a ton of overseas travel at the moment anyway- SQ is barely serving the US right now. And frankly if you're based in Asia/Australia/wherever and your goal is to milk whatever value you can out of AS's SQ partnership, and you will never set foot on a plane with an Eskimo on the tail, AS barely cares about you in the first place.

What can I do if I have a SQ award sector left and that is now cancelled by AS? It was booked back in 2019 so I'm on a long "stopover" right now that is no longer permitted by AS. Cancelling / refunding this means 0 value as the one way is partially consumed.
Cannot rebook to another sector through end of schedule as SQ is not releasing any award availability to AS. Anyone successfully get rebooked to another AS partner in this circumstances? Or is this a real write off for me? :-(

Mileage Redemption for Singapore Airlines (SQ) have paused for the moment due to special regulation of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) as of June 15, 2020.

It is likely for a long time that SQ will not release seats to partners.
As the exit roadmap for Singapore out of COVID showed yesterday, travel will continue to be restricted, especially from high risk countries. It only means free transit is unlikely in any sooner.
