UA is lying (phantom). These flights don't show up on ANA either. I ran into this last week when trying to book SK CPH-ORD with UA miles. It didn't bomb on me until after I entered my CC and clicked Purchase! Then it came back with the silly "Error: due to constantly changing availability,...". And most annoying is that UA continued to offer the flight when I tried again the following days. ANA never showed the flight as available. Same thing when attempting UA miles for OS TLV-VIE (on a certain day; other days were available on both UA/ANA).

Lifemiles is really pissing me off. There are 7 (F) first class seats available on June 2nd from IAD to MUC on LH flight 415; 6 of which are available as award seats (O). They aren't offering a damn 1 of them and hide behind this BS policy:
I only tend to book OW tickets, so their "exception" is a sham. I'd love to jump all over their 125% bonus but, if I can't rely upon redemptions even when a flight is WIDE OPEN, what good is it?
We understand your concern about this matter; however, as advised on our Terms and Conditions: "The availability of the awards, benefits and/or award tickets may depend on the dates, season and destination, among others. Benefits and specific awards and certain destinations may not be available at all times or may be subject to limited availability."
If you can find the aforementioned flights separately on our website, you can send such screenshots in order to evaluate the possibility to request a manual booking to our internal department.

AP and UA, if my memory serves me. I rarely check ANA since they went to the new system.
