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

No AS elite benefits on SQ, yes? (Though is it possible to use a Star Alliance Gold number to do things like pick seats, but then swap it back to Mileage Plan? Or if that's too risky, it should work to use the Star Alliance card for things like priority check in and lounge access while an AS number is on the ticket?)

Is this a redemption or a cash booking? I don’t see what the risk would be on an award booking.
For a cash booking, are you trying to get bulkhead or something?

Sure, a bulkhead would be nice. Since SQ's flights tend to be long, I think seat choice makes a difference and I hope to optimize it. (If it were a short haul, I wouldn't be fussed.)

I think SQ supports FQTV and FQTS (two programs in the record), so maybe its not particularly risky?

I would attach your *A number when you book and then change to AS at check in. An airport agent can do this if it's not doable as part of the OLCI flow. And double check your BPs to make sure that the AS number stuck.

Does AS' award booking flow support entering a different FF# than the AS#? For instance, it's obvious and possible on UA's flow.
Thanks!
Interesting... is it possible to specify at some point, a different number for each of these (whatever benefits each conveys)?

FQTV -- the program you wish to credit miles toward
FQTS -- the program indicating your level of status

I'm finding plenty of availability LAX-NRT, but when I try to add SEA-LAX on the front end the SQ flights don't show. Flight SEA-LAX do appear for flights on JL and AA, but those flights don't have J availability. Are these awards only available without an AS positioning flight?

Understood. But it doesn't explain, or does it and I'm just not understanding your explanation, why SEA-LAX-NRT is blocked while LAX-NRT is showing available. The AS flight SEA-LAX is showing available for the same routing where the LAX-NRT leg is on JL. This is simply adding an AS flight on the front end of the routing. I understand the concept of married segments, but the LAX-NRT segment is showing available as a stand alone segment. It's when adding an AS segment that it doesn't work.

All
I have two SQ business AS mileage award round trip on SQ from California to Phuket and back June 1-16.
On the SingaporeAir website when pulling up our reservations, one of the four legs (SQ740 SIN-HKT) is showing reserved, not confirmed. All other legs are showing as confirmed. Ill try to add a screenshot below.
Initially, this presented as an issue where we could not select our business class seats. Now that we are closer to flight time, we cannot book meals. And on day of departure, per SQ, they say we will not be able to fly this leg as we are not confirmed. They added that AS did not ticket properly and nothing they can do to assist as its Alaska 027 ticket stock and not theirs. While we have space allocation, AS hasnt yet issued the ticket properly and we wont make it past Singapore.
After hours of phone calls with both Singapore and Alaska, AS continues to say nothing is wrong, reissues the ticket (again, now up to the 5th time) and Singapore says we only have valid ticket to Singapore.
Sorry, Im probably not explaining this effectively and not sure Ive posted in best thread, but have any of you experienced this when redeeming AS miles on SQ flights? Any thoughts on how I can get AS to correct? Or is it SQ to correct?
Thanks, DUT

AS shows the itinerary above, but not SJC-LAX-NRT. Maybe it requires touching down in SIN in order to add AS segment. Just a wild thought.

I suggest you add the trip to 'CheckMyTrip' App. Then tap SIN-HKT segment to check if there is a ticket number? does it match the latest number that AS reissued? Since AS claimed it was issued properly, can you just give the 027 number to SQ and ask them to attach it to that segment? At least SQ should be able to see what's on that ticket thru GDS.
