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

Thanks to those posting in here. I've read through and believe I have a better handle on my situation but I'd like to run by those of you who have a much better understanding on these things.
I have an upcoming ARN-FRA-SIN-DPS flight. Ticket is issued on LH 220 stock.
ARN- FRA is in J on LH Metal market by LH
FRA-SIN is in F on SQ metal marketed by LH
SIN-DPS is in J on SQ Metal marketed by LH
Per the rules that would make the FRA and SIN segments ineligible to earn on AS, correct? But, also in practice there is a chance it would credit?
Is my best bet to try and credit to AS and if unsuccessful attempt to credit somewhere else after the fact? And, if I don't/can't credit to AS is there somewhere preferable to credit to besides KF as a US based flyer whose main goal would be a future award ticket to wither Europe or Asia? I will also have a subsequent BKK-SIN-JFK flight all booked in D issued by SQ to further credit somewhere.

LH Marketed means an LH flight number. LH××××

To ensure flight credit, the two-letter airline code (SQ) must precede the flight number (for example, SQ XXXX) on your ticket receipt or boarding pass.
I would say the chances are exactly Zero!

I would never even consider attempting to credit an LH coded flight to AS. Credit to your choice of *A carrier. Check "Where to Credit" for details (if you haven't already).
I just got burned by this. SQ's SIN-BKK flights have 700 series flight numbers and my recent flight did not credit (SFO-SIN did).

Sadly all their Thailand flights are now in the 700s.

I would like to do it but cannot afford an error that would credit the long flight to anyone by AS.
Perhaps claim after the fact the BKK-SIN-BKK? One of my possible *A destination would be SQ's program.

I am flying a similar ticket next week. I wonder if anyone has tried to credit just the BKK-SIN or SIN-BKK to a *A carrier's program while keeping the SIN-SFO/SEA/LAX/JFK and reverse crediting on AS?

btw, very pleasantly surprised with the SQ long-haul experience. They've added substantial mattress pads to the previously ultra-rock hard J seats, which I absolutely hated last couple times I flew SQ. Service was outstanding, new SKL at SIN is very nice.

I also had a better than expected experience on SQ a few months ago. The mattress pads are a big improvement and I slept much better than expected. I was surprisingly more comfortable sleeping on my SQ outbound compared to my return in Qsuites on QR.

As expected my former SilkAir routes (7XX flight numbers) were declined on my manual request. I replied that the website was out of date. Either way I'm now expecting to need 2 transcon mileage runs of 75K instead of 1

No, actually that's not at all what's "clearly outlined" so cut the snark. Certain flight numbers (700-799) are exempted (primarily former SilkAir routes). Many SQ short haul flights do in fact accrue (e.g., SIN-DPS, which are 9xx flight numbers and SIN-KUL which are 1xx flight numbers). The exemption is an outdated anachronism, but AS is terrible about updating its accrual rules to reflect these kinds of changes. The AY T fare is another example.
