Is Delta fixing the award calendar tonight?

"On Tuesday, December 4 , we will be performing maintenance on delta.com systems beginning at 4:45 a.m. EST. We expect this maintenance to last approximately 30 minutes. During this time, customers may be unable to complete award bookings.

We apologize for any inconvenience."

I would guess NO but only Delta knows. I would make the assumption its to make it harder to find low awards, add the ability to search more partners, or change award prices.

making it harder to find low awards is the only enhancement i'd expect to see.

Or it could be EOS - the End of SkyMiles, when everything is FUBAR'ed (or FBATR'ed, sorry).

Though likely not, as this is far too much notice. Normally for something as bad as that it'd be done with no notice or hint of that anything is to come, not a peep, whatsoever.

So, how will we know when they're done?

Low is available if you do not mind 15+ hour layovers on international flights or being subjected to long range flights on A320's

They are 'fixing' to make some exciting enhancements. Not the kind you buy your second wife...

Strangely enough it seams to be doing a good job of finding KE inventory Asia<>US, but on DL I am not finding any unbroken fares.

I think it would be a good PhD thesis to reverse engineer this beast.

"Fixing" with emphasis on the "" part.

I'd just like to point out that this would be the exact type of thread I would hope and expect the DL reps to chime in with some clarity even if its just standard jargon about the update.
