So far I have had no luck finding J space on TPAC. I did get Premium Economy for early next year

Does AS have access to CX availability showing on OW partners? I see SGN-HKG available on both AA and BA but not on AS. Would the AS partner desk be able to see this availability?

In theory it’s the same but each airlines books out slightly differently. IIRC Alaska partner awards are 330 days out, AA is 331 and BA is 360.

It's not clear if they have migrated from individual partner to OneWorld availability yet. To me it looks almost like they have left CX from SGN off their online system completely. I don't know if this is because their partner agreement did not include it or whether it is a mistake. If I wanted it I would definitely call in and ask. Since everyone here says if it is not shown online the agents cannot see it either you would probably have to ask them to long-sell it, which they probably won't want to do but if you find availability it's worth a shot.

Is anyone seeing Premium economy for TPE to LAX for October or November 2023?
Several weeks ago, I was able to see Premium economy for LAX to TPE on CX.

Thanks for posting, that prompted me to search again for JFK to SIN in September next year and I lucked out and found 2x J seats on CX for the incredible 50K miles... I have been keen to lock in at that rate before the rumored price increase (btw... while searching I noticed that AS want 120K miles for Korean Air one-way J for same route, even when it is "mixed cabin" with the TPAC in Y, that feels like an almost doubling in price since last time I looked).
This booking burns down almost all my AS miles. I will have to find alternate currency for the return trip, which may have to be a different airline and certainly way more than 50K. It's a pity that AS are not partners with any of the major credit card "transferable currency" programs.

Korean flights are priced as a round-trip. The 120k price is the round-trip price. That flight will show as 60k if it is part of a round trip but Korean will not allow half round-trip pricing for a one-way trip (you pay full round-trip price for a one-way). AS does allow you to combine a different partner for one direction of the round-trip (you can get 1/2 round-trip price for a Korean Airlines one-way so long as your booking is a round-trip itin even if one direction is not on Korean).

Alaska has said they are migrating to a combined award chart in late December (which may mean full OneWorld integration) and when that happens you might have a chance to book it.

I'm having issues confirming CX flights showing up on AS and on AA. Did Alaska just shut out all mileage partner redemptions??? Merry Christmas...

Hong Kong lifts restrictions from December 22nd
...
Hong Kong welcomes all travelers 22 December 2022
Hong Kong has lifted its amber health code travel restrictions—meaning that all incoming travelers who test negative upon arrival are free to roam the city, go to restaurants and bars, enter theme parks and much more.
