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

Even more interesting than being and to book SQ... being able to mix partners on a single award?
Edit: this IS still showing up... the key is that you must request a stopover or it wont work

Curious, on the mixed cabin, does SQ show up at all as the J partner award on there?

So SQ Y on an eastbound redeye, followed by a 6500 mile Y flight. Good times. At least you have time to grab a shower, and if you want to do the later flight you have plenty of time to go in and grab some chicken rice, chili crab, or whatever street food you'd like, maybe even crash for a few hours.

I'm hopeful that this is a sign of progress... hard to imagine it's a total fluke. Maybe they just wanted to release some obscure route to test the waters, make sure systems are integrated, etc.
I'd love to redeem some day to experience their higher end products... for now I'll have to settle on paying for premium economy to check them out (unless i can do their bidding process into business)

Now, I realize this is FT, where there are people who would probably fly JFK to LAX through SYD, EZE, JNB and DME if it would get them status or Krug and showers, and there are probably even some people that would find that routing appealing as a Y passenger because they love airplanes, but... CX J MLE-HKG-SEA-CUN (last leg AS F)? 50k. 5k less than flying SQ Y/DE J. And the CX J hard product might be a BIT better than SQ Y.

Is that itinerary actually bookable? Will it ticket? I assume it's just in as a specific test case while they work out details of communicating with SQ's system.
Again, two partners on one award is generally not allowed.

If this is something you really want to do, you’d be better collecting Amex MR, Chase UR, or Citi ThankYou points.

Dont get too excited if you are planning on flying SQ J or F with Alaska miles - it is unlikely to ever be available with the exception of regional J awards.

Also, SQ Y+ to SE Asia is often reasonably priced enough that a 40k one-way redemption/80k r/t with AS miles might only yield you 2 CPM savings, before you consider the AS earning. I have a hard time seeing AS putting Y below 30k one way, Y+ much below 40k. SQ Y+ might be interesting if the redemption prices in AS miles for Y+ USA-Australia weren't terrible. SEA-SIN as a daytime flight, decent stopover, SIN-Australia in Y+ as a daytime flight? That might be OK- if there was actual availability.

I am not adverse to flying Y but flying SCL-MAD-DXB-ICN-HKG-NRT for $285 a pop in J is fun too. I flew KGL-NBO-JNB on KQ today in J for $400 and no credit to MP, but my BA flight JNB-CPT earns 500 EQM. 
NBO-JNB 787-8 with 30 lie-flat seats had 6 in J. KGL-NBO on an E190. BA6043 CPT-JNB was on a 738 with 24F. Nothing better than being in the middle seat in F when your knees are up against the seat in front of you. Y with a choice of hot meal with wine was perfectly fine for a 1h 45m wheels up, wheels down flight. I flew SYD-HKG on QF A330 in Y and decided to move to a seat on the isle of the middle 4. Once selected, the other three seats were blocked off. I had 4 seats, four blankets & 4 pillows all to myself. No Krug needed for my Y lie-flat. It did appear that available seats for selection were being shown dynamically.
