no reward redemptions out of Austin?
hi,
hopefully someone here can help me with a SQ issue. i'm trying to book an AUS-KUL flight next year and keep getting "There are no flights available for the criteria you selected. " if i search IAH-KUL, there is plenty of SQ availability and if i search united for AUS-IAH, there is also availability. if I call, customer service should be able to set me up, or am i going to have to buy an additional ticket from AUS-IAH? If there are better itineraries out of other hubs, (only one's i can find are SFO, JFK, LAX, EWR) can i fly from AUS to one of those as long as there is United availability?

You would need to book as a partner award if you want to start your award booking at an airport not served by SQ. You may be better positioning yourself with a cash booking.

You could do a mixed reward, but honestly I would just drive from ATX to IAH if possible since its only 2 hours as the star alliance point redemption for a mixed ticket will cost more than a straight SQ reward most likely.
