US Airways.

US has no YQ AFAIK, those probably all do. VS, ANA and OZ are also partners (albeit with YQ as well).

Aren't US QR redemptions 'temporarily unavailable' for years?

US award chart:

B) Award redemption on Qatar Airways and Royal Jordanian is temporarily not available

Been like that for years, no one knows how temporary it is

EY via AA = no YQ
SQ via UA = no YQ
EK via KE = no YQ.

Besides, who the heck would want to take US?

EK via KE has both a very high chart, and limited availability (a lot less than for EK).

Dealing with KE, IME is a PITA.

SQ many flights are impossible to get via UA.

EY via AA is awesome.

EY via AA is awesome.

They release to AA 1 out of 9 seats they release to their own FF members.
Out of my 20-30 attempts to get a seat on EY, I only got once. IME they are way similar to what Jet Airways releases for AA (1 seat per flight).

Nonsense. Sometimes the last seat they hold back but the others are always available

Did you actually check that out?
Try calling EY to see seats, or check expertflyer, you'll see most flights they release 9 seats for awards. Vs. AA, on most of the same flights, they'll offer you 1 or 0 seats.

This is based on my experience. I'm open to change my mind, if someone can show me the same 9 seats will be available by AA...
