Is it fairly easy to get two award redemptions in biz on the LAX-SIN route?
Seems like award availability can vary greatly depending on the route (and airline of course but that's an entirely different matter). With SQ I noticed that SIN to LHR is the easiest one in Europe (barring maybe BCN which seems to gladly give away reward seats), but when I looked at Germany for instance I didn't have much luck.

Depending on how flexible your dates are and how far in advance you can plan (as well as time of year) I would say it is fairly easy. I was looking to book MLE-SIN-LAX or SFO or IAH (I'm in STL) for April of next year. I found several possibilities to all 3 of those locations. And options for layover times as well in SIN.

Booking ahead and being flexible seem to be the key. Personally I only book saver awards (or I switch to burning miles from a different FFP) but when redeeming for more than one person I can see how that could strongly affect availability.
I need to start planning now as I too am looking at April of next year, albeit on the SIN-Europe route. I just hope I'm not stuck with LHR as my only option due to Easter holidays around that time...
