no more codeshare to SIN?

I just went to book travel to SIN, and it appears that the codeshare with NW has gone away? Or am I just missing a trick? I'm prefer to travel CO as far as possible (i.e., NRT) just because the PTV's are nicer, and (more importantly) I've got a voucher from a bump I want to use.

Is there a way to generate the routing and have myself just booked on the NW flight NRT-SIN using continental.com so I can use the voucher easily, or do I need to call in? I hate talking to people

This is probably case of NW not allocating inventory to CO. It has always been a problem with BKK. It now appears to be one with SIN as well.
If you check the Japanese site, you will see Y9 on the codeshares, with all other fare buckets zeroed out.

Just was looking to book an 'advance' SIN run for 2004 over MLK holiday and had no problem with code share on NW. EWR-NRT on CO with a codeshare on NW NRT-SIN.
PS-HoKeY fare (BF is the ONLY way I'll do a SIN run) was $1250 with no waiting for a BF/WBC seat.

Vulcan - Is there a way to get around this for BKK? I'd like to book CO to NRT and NW to BKK, but everything prices out at full Y through CO and at around $2200 if I try to book it via NW. Going NW to NRT is much cheaper.

I'm not entirely clear on what you're trying to accomplish. Generally speaking, the CO codeshare on NW metal between NRT and SIN can only be booked in conjunction with a flight from the US to NRT (I'm not sure if this flight needs to be on a certain carrier's codeshare or metal). The booking engines are smart enough to enforce this, although it may be possible for an airline agent to work their magic and get around the restriction.

I was trying to get an MIA-IAH-NRT-SIN trip booked through continental.com to make it easy to use the voucher. Besides, truth be told, I prefer the 777 and the PTV's IAH-NRT (and often I can score one two seat row in the back of Y to make it comfy).

I was able to find the routing on the NW side of things (ie., codeshare MIA-IAH and IAH-NRT with NW NRT-SIN) but it priced out over $2,000 -- a little out of my budget when I can do MIA-DTW-NRT-SIN and back for $700.
