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

well, soon it will be a real schedule change with SQ cancelling most flights in June.
i was planning to cancel the trip anyway.
However, I wonder what kind of reschedule will be offered. will there be a stopover provided? Or just a simple SIN-PVG, which is still operating on Monday only.

They only owe you SIN-PVG. The same rules apply as for when people think they’re clever with hidden city tickets, and then the airline reroutes to final destination without involving the hidden city.

I just tried LAX-PVG without a stopover and that won't show either. Either AS has bug booking SQ to PVG (or maybe China) or they have decided to disallow this routing. If it's a bug that does not cost AS revenue history has shown it will be very difficult to get them to fix it but you should report it at least.

edit: wrong statement. It only applies to Japan. NRT-LAX only with connection on AS.

BOM-SIN-LAX with SIN stopover, completely bookable. HKG-SIN-LAX with stopover, also bookable. TPE-SIN-LAX, bookable. PEK/PVG-SIN-LAX, not so much... but I'm not seeing a ton of China-SIN availability on SQ using the AS award booking engine, either (TPE-SIN and HKG-SIN there's tons).

I selected a bunch of random dates in January 2021, plenty of HKG and TPE to SIN on SQ, zero PEK-SIN on SQ. There is availability on JL though, tons of it.
Looking on united.com for similar dates on SQ.... UA isn't showing any options for SQ that don't involve a connection in another *A hub (like going TG PEK-BKK, SQ BKK-SIN). So I don't think AS is doing screening here, SQ isn't providing availability.

Right, but if there's no China-SIN award availability on SQ you can't exactly book China-SIN-LAX on SQ now, can you?

Do you have an example date with availability on another *A program for non-stop SIN-China (non HKG/TPE)?

AS can’t book TG/BR on one leg, SQ other leg, UA can, so I would assume the problem is no actual availability ex-China. The stuff UA can’t book is ex-US and some Europe routes plus longhaul equipment types. Regional stuff is usually fine (especially in coach) if it’s not A380/77W.
