Asked the same question on the Aeroplan forum but I thought here there might be more people who know:
I didn't look into this at first since I don't have enough miles for F right now. However, I realized that JFK-FRA is a possibility in J. I found some availability but I'm not sure how rare it actually is to find JFK-FRA in J. Anyone here knows?

Best. TR. Quote. EVER.
"Refreshments were served by DPK for my side of the aisle and by G’O for the other side. The way that G’O accentuates words with her mouth is quite amusing and nice and her diction is very good. She is also attractive and would make a good wife – as would DPK. "

I prefer our very own Macabus' 8 bottles of Dom trip report. I don't really drink (certainly not like that!), but I am a value geek and the idea of getting an extra $1k "worth" out of the trip tickles me greatly.

It appears that ALL SQ flights (at least the random sprinkling that I tried) have disappeared from UA.com and mobile.UA.com's award search. Not even coming up. (I've verified on EF that there are actually flights on those dates.)

+1... no matter what routing I enter or dates, I get no flight options with SQ in it. Seems like a total reversal from this weekend when everything was open, available and just plain pleasant....

I can see availability on the KVS tool but not on the UA website. What is that really telling me? I suppose I shouldn't ask UA to book it over the phone?

for those that are going and going to do a trip report, this is the only acceptable way to write a report on SQ

I get plenty of availability on the krisflyer website, but it also charges almost full miles...

How about changing EWR-SIN to EWR-SIN-NRT?

There doesn't seem to be any SQ availability on UA right now.

Yes, this is a massive blockage for SQ: now, even PAID REVENUE tickets on many SQ routes are impossible to book over UA's dot.bomb.
According to the engine, places where only SQ flies show up as "Sorry, United.com could not find any available seats meeting your requirements."
Nuts to them. SQ still sells their own seats, luckily for them. Too bad they sent this frequent flyer off to AA/CX for my ticket needs. Later, UA/SQ.

And on Aeroplan, not united. That didn't work, indeed

I don't quite follow your whole situation, but I don't believe EU-Asia awards are allowed to route via the US. I don't believe US-EU awards can route via Asia either. US-Asia can route via EU, however. (Obviously with US, it becomes a matter of finding an agent that will do it for you. UA is more stringent, but it's always YMMV, especially in the confused state UA is in at the moment with many conflicting rules and policies.)
