SQ Award availability?
A few months ago it was easy to find tons of SQ flights through Alaska. I don't see any at all no matter the dates.
Anyone know if this is an inventory issue?
We were looking to book 4 Business class seats from US to Thailand in Nov. Should have snatched up all of them that I saw a bit ago, but figured there would be more. Can't see anything as far out as the system will let me.

Capacity US to Asia is down significantly compared to 2019, and many carriers (e.g. CX) won't be at 2019 levels for a while. I've seen some previously unthinkable cash fares this year, so airlines don't need to release partner awards.
You're right that the best time to book was a while ago. I think earlier this year I even saw a CX J US to Australia award, but it's all dried up since April/May.

one datapoint to add, my cousin recently traveled to PVG for work and the COACH fare was over five grand. He flies delta but all competing airlines were similarly priced.

I was able to book DPS-SIN-BKK in C for 25K a day before Christmas when even on SQ's site these flights were showing a waitlisted. Now there isn't a single SQ flight on Alaska site on any of the routes.
Anyone tried calling the agent and trying to book something manually based on the Aeroplan availability?
