Award spaces on CJU-GMP between Jul 17 and Aug 23
From UA and AC sites, it appears that there is no award availability at all for CJU-GMP between Jul 17 and Aug 23. However, there are tons of availability before Jul 17 or after Aug 23.
There are more than 20 flights a day!
I know that's probably summer peak season. Does anyone have historical data that tells if award spaces will (likely) open up in the next few months?
Many thanks.

Without me spending the time to check on the OZ website, I would guess those are the blackout dates where OZ doesn't release any awards to partners, and even OZ members (unless you have a high enough elite status), have to pay extra miles for flights on those dates. Check the OZ website to see if their blackout dates match with what you're seeing, and if so there's absolutely no chance of getting a seat.

for flights between GMP and CJU, I rarely pay more than $50 per person given that there are 80 flights to choose from.
I always thought using miles on Korean domestic is just not worth it...maybe it's just me.

It's not just you. I wanted to use some miles for a flight to Jeju, but then checked out the price for a purchased fare and at just $70, it seemed like a waste of miles. This was during summer vacation time at a very comfortable departure time, btw. - you can do much better off peak.
