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

Just a heads up that SQ has opened a ton of award availability via AS . . . this includes space available for 100k AS which SQ only makes available through KF as "Advantage" awards at 128k.
It's quite remarkable, actually. No other partner has such generous access to SQ premium cabin award space.

As far as I can tell it has more or less the same availability, but the availability stretches beyond KF's "Saver" awards and includes itineraries that are only available as the more expensive "Advantage" awards on KF. It's also much easier to deal with AS if you need to change or cancel than with KF.
No thanks, not interested. M&M are virtually impossible to acquire for US-based flyers since all transfers were blocked several years ago.

it does not have more. It has different buckets, shared with all SA partners. However, as most SA programs can’t book SQ premium, SQ premium availability appears great in AS simply because of less competition, not higher availability
and KF elite has complained to SQ about this. See whether KF can access SA availability eventually.

And assuming you meant AS, please note that I said "more or less" the same. If I meant "exactly" the same I would not have used the qualifier.
I will think hard before posting any more helpful comments in this forum.

Keep getting msgs: "We're sorry, we aren't able to confirm space on these partner flights"
Finally choose a flight also show up on Aeroplan (it show waitlisted in Krisflyer), it went through, got confirmation code email, but "The reservation you selected cannot be displayed online. ".....Get confirmation email few hours later.

You mean the nonstop into EWR? AFAIK that's not included in any award plan (including KrisWorld) because it's such a hugely popular, not to mention unique, flight. The JFK ones are all fifth-freedom flights to FRA (on an A380, no less) and then continue to SIN after refueling.

I don't think that's right, both the EWR-SIN and JFK-SIN (and back) non-stops can be booked (unless issues again with phantom availability) with AS for 100k in J.

I could certainly be mistaken, but the last time I tried to book a ticket in J on SIN on this specific using AS miles, it proved to be a phantom fare. OTOH I also didn't know that they'd started flying the route from JFK as well as EWR, so I'll check again.

Your sample size is inadequate. I'm currently holding four such award legs, two through Mileage Plan and two through KrisFlyer.

The airline restarted flying to New York in November 2020, but it changed its strategy with the once-daily nonstops resuming from JFK, instead of from Newark. At the time, it made the JFK move “to better accommodate a mix of passenger and cargo traffic on its services to New York in the current operating climate.”
