Velocity redemption on Singapore Airlines- mixed cabin?
Using velocity points to redeem in business on SQ.
Syd to USM via SIN
I can find Business Class availability but when I get to the confirmation page it says Economy cabin for the Silk air SIN to USM leg. Looking to do J all the way through. Any suggestions on how to get this confirmed? Is this normal?

Yes it is normal as by offering mixed itineraries there are more routing options available. Most people would at least consider the short leg in Y if it means they can redeem VA points for J on the longer flight.

SQ gives the usual allocation of premium seats for redemption to VA as it does to its *A partners - an allocation that can be usually characterised as SFA. As for Singapore - Koh Samui, it's always serviced by the Silk Air subsidiary using an SQ flight number for code-share purposes, and I think SQ sells Silk Air "Business" as "Premium Economy" at best
