Nothing other than SQ Y is shown on .sux. If that's what you're limiting your search to then you'll never see SQ C/F. [NB I'm not claiming it's available.]

Not even regional SQ C, which is generally widely available, is shown by .sux.

The bottom line, don't use the online search as your underlying understanding of the system.

From what I've read, LH even in C, doesn't have flat beds on their new A380....what a mistake.

You are correct. LH C has flat beds only on their 748, of which they have 3 so far (and I don't think all 3 are in service).

For comparison, the LH European C seat is worse than UA E+.

Really? I have 2 LX F from ZRH-NRT.....super stoked even with the old seats!
I got this back in March...it looks like since the UA product is so bad, we go on partner airlines, I bet if the product was up to par with LH, LX, NH they would reopen those seats for us as we wouldnt be chosing them as much as UA.

Is there anyway to see SQ J awards? Nothing is showing on united.com. If you call them, are they able to book it?

Is ExpertFlyer of any use? I've been looking at Aeroplan but also notice I can't find any 77W or 380 availability. Are you able to redeem UA miles for 77W or 380? Thanks!

I've seen false negative on ANA on other airlines as well; noticeably TK.

There's a Travel Tools forum which discusses the sites to use to search for availability. Let's stick to the original topic here, please.
