But thanks to this poster, we have some posted on the French-language link he included

Will screen shots stop people from complaining or speculating or starting new threads? A large percentage of this blog is complaining and speculating.

OMG, I had no idea.

OK, I get it, None of you who are complaining about my idea for screen shots agree with me or see my point.

I withdraw my suggestion and everyone can carry-on as before.

Don't get me wrong 24left, I see your point, I just don't think it will solve the problem you want solved.

Understood. Thanks.

My other idea would be to stand outside Aimia's and AC's front doors with pitchforks, but no one would see the humour in that, especially here in the nanny-state run by puritans.

I'm guessing when this "not bookable" problem spreads to other usually bookable partners, things may change.

It has spread... Started with CA... ok that may have been technical, although it was quickly fixed by other programs... then AV and CM got blocked.. then LX....

What other Star Alliance airlines fly to Brazil?

I see that Air Canada does Sao Paolo but I haven't found any others yet. I'm starting from YYZ.

This is frustrating.

Trying to book YEG - UIO (or GPS) with a stopover in MGA.

With AV, CM & UA blocked... the majority of central and N. South American destinations are gone...

We're aware that technical difficulties are making it difficult to book flight rewards with four carriers - Air China, Avianca, Copa and SWISS.

These are separate issues related to the different inventory systems of the concerned airlines. We appreciate the inconvenience that these disruptions may be causing you.

We are working closely with all stakeholders from the affected airlines to ensure that the situation is resolved as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Why aren't award seats available to be booked from a one-stop Global Distribution System (no individual interfacing needed with each airline) , the same way revenue seats are ?

Ha, I can only image what happens if you tried standing somewhere with pitchforks in SIN. Buy some "cheap" wine and chillax.

Not in Italy. It's Paulo, not Paolo.

But yes, UA, LH, TP, Avianca and and TK definitely fly there. Not sure about SQ. Avianca Brasil is a member, and GOL is either a member or some sort of associate.

There should be a pool on when this will get fixed.
Reminds me of when AC had COMING SOON online seat selection for months... and it never came....

I pick July 2020.

Let us translate Amia corporate speak into english.

We don't want you to redeem on these airlines and are using technical issues as an excuse. We don't really care that it inconveniences you.

We say we're working to resolve these problems, but we're really freaking out about Air Canada dropping us like a hot potato.

In the meantime, f you. Now go spend money on your aeroplan card. Maybe one day you can get a toaster.
