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

Ah...I hadn't recalled whether that was a seasonal cancellation (the route came and went from what I remember) or a full-on cancellation.

Barely a month after Alaska and Singapore announces a solid partnership, Singapore's award space is back on United. Am I reading too much into this?

I realize it says it can take up to 14 days for partner miles to post, but generally, what is the experience? I'm relatively new to AS Mileage Plan and took an SQ flight over a week ago & credited to AS, but nothing's posted as yet. I've saved my boarding pass & the receipt just in case - but was curious what other's experiences have been so far?

I would expect a certain amount of growth to the East Coast out of California, but there’s just no reason for them to try assaulting NYC, Florida AND California at the same time.

JL flies intra-Asia/Asia-Australia and to India and AS has never included any of that on their JL award chart except for intra-Asia. If they follow this pattern with SQ, they'll only give us North America-Asia and intra-Asia. North America-Asia will be worthless for premium cabins, as there will never be any availability, leaving it as effectively just an intra-Asia table. (In that case, you might as well use UA miles to fly to Asia and the "excursionist perk" to book a free intra-Asia flight as part of that.)
I'm really hoping I'm wrong, but everything points to this being the most useless partnership AS has ever announced.

Secondly AS DOES have a partner for whom they have an intra-Asia and Asian city-Australia chart... CX.
So it's not a given as to what "pattern" will be followed.
PQDs and Basic Economy plus the joy of SFO ATC ground holds for most of my flying patterns? I'd rather fly NK. At least they don't pretend they're anything but an ULCC when they shove you in the back and charge you for everything. I'd have to strain considerably just to make Silver with them, so it's rotten seats, board last, no carryon, and upcharges for anything better if I choose UA. UA is completely unattractive to me as a program and as an airline. Maybe if I was hub captive in someplace like IAD and had no choice...

The latter is exactly my point. AS has one single partner for Asia-Australia, CX, and has not added any of the other three Asian partners that have joined since.
Not JAL.
Not Hainan Airlines.
Not Korean. (They do have USA-Australia awards, but if they did that with SQ, it would be useless due to lack of availability on the USA-Asia part.)
That is the pattern.

And I'm afraid, SQ will be the same - flights from the US to SIN and connect to other destinations in Asia/Australia/ME from SIN
AS MileagePlan is the most restrictive program I've seen when it comes to using partner flights...
