Okay that is an odd one. Would be quite unwelcome to have to call the contact center for a seat assignment (and wait 25-30mins in a queue). I agree that it used to work with LM bookings via the (previous) SQ website version as long as the eticket was issued. MAybe give it a few days and try again, trial and error, one is quite used to that with the website these days.

New website says it was issued by a partner airline and I need to get in touch with them or the source of the booking. Come to think of it, I think I was able to do it on the old website but I guess there's no way of going back now.
Definitely ticketed though as I received the emails from Avianca and can see the ticket numbers on checkmytrip.com

Well mixed class can offer very sneaky options though. While overall opening new opportunities, one has to be very careful with the mixed cabin one. It seems to price the award based on the highest cabin in the itinerary / booking even if only one segment is in that cabin. I saw one extreme case for a SFO - SIN search that offered SFO-LAX(UA F)-NRT( NH Y)-SIN(NH Y) and asked for 99K miles as a First redemption. Buhhhhh It does have a message pop-up though reminding one that the itinerary gets priced based on highest cabin, one just has to check every sector.

MEL-SIN F, SIN-LHR in J was charged in J.

Originally posted by demue View PostWell yes (aside from the sorely missed BD program), but to pay F miles on a North America to SE Asia just because a SFO-LAX leg is in F and the rest of the 10,000mls journey and two segments in Y is a tough one. One has to watch out.My SQ and flying Videos: Youtube My Travel Blog: AussieFlyer.net

The new mixed class awards on Lifemiles are fantastic - if you think Lufthansa First Class and SQ flying in Biz, it's just 60,000 Lifemiles!

Sure there are those options for the discerning redeemer . I do echo that the option to have mixed cabin bookings is good, no question. Just one needs to be more careful now when evaluating what is offered. At least now there are options like domestic flights in Japan where no J or F is offered on NH. Or getting F class with J feeder options in Europe or Asia.
