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

Yes,using Alaska miles there is no such limitation. But with Krsflyer and BA Avios they don't allow connections.
I eventually ended up using AA miles to book this route since AA did not have any issues ticketing a Alaska ticket with connections. It cost me 25k AA miles vs 30k Krisflyer miles.

People have no issues with earning AS EQM/RDM on SQs R fare right? I booked SQ PE trip yesterday and plan to credit it to AS to get that close to MVPG status.
also can someone tell me whats exactly EQM for SQ PE EWR-SIN flight? My mile calculation was little off on my AA J flights that I credit to Alaska. Thanks!

Per the AS website: PremiumS, T, P, R*100%
Use Great Circle Mapper and seems it is 9534 miles O/W.

Yeah that's what I am going with, but for some reasons, AS give me like 20ish less mile for my JFK-CUN AA J flight. Not a big deal. I am just glad that AS update award chart to reflect SQ's R fare.

It depends which end of the runway you depart and land on! lol I use milecalc.com. It matches with Great Circle Mapper and may be where it is extracting the data from. JFK-CUN is 1555 miles each way.
Great Circle Mapper shows the distance SEA-YLW to be 219 miles. With AS, it is posting at 220 this year but in prior years posted at 218 so probably rounding. (500 minimum EQM so inconsequential).
Looking at all my AS and Partner flights, they are all within 1 mile of Great Circle Mapper except one. My DXB-GRU-SCL direct flight (stop in GRU, same flight number to SCL) posted at 9170 miles while Great circle mapper is 9182.
It is nice that AS finally updated their charts to reflect SQ Premium Economy R class. Then along comes L....

Sometimes airlines also dont update the actual location of the airport. I remember reading in another forum that DEN was ~10 miles off or something at one point because they were using the old Stapleton airport vs DIA. Luckily these issues are insignificant, and you may even luck out if you fly out the other way to another destination.

SQ did briefly show up on the award charts and then quickly vanished. Not sure when soon will be but if you are looking for any redemptions over Y, that may be never.

Hey guys - I'm mostly a DL flyer, but fly AS on occasion when my company books it. Thinking about booking a personal trip to SIN via SQ's website. ANC-SEA-SIN. Does anyone know if tickets booked though SQ, for AS metal flights will allow seat selection in advance? According to the SQ site advance seat selection is not available for the AS segments. Looks to be V and R fare buckets for the AS segments. Just want to know what I'm getting myself into before I pull the trigger. Basically, is SQ's site going to book into an AS "Saver" seat? Thanks!

OP: Is this a revenue or awards booking on SQ? You mention R & V fares which are not AS Saver fares. You are able to select seats on those fares but still limited to non-Premium seats and those seats not designated for full-fare tickets or for those with Elite status.
If you are booking a Krisflyer award on SQ then the AS flight would need Saver Award Space, W for Economy and A for first class.
