The date is Sep 1 (2012). Oneways on intergrated partners are supposed to be online then and other partners can also be booked as one ways for 50% of a RT.

Of course when M&M introduced these changes they announced on the same day a sharp increase in redemption rates and they devalued our miles to the max.

To put it slightly more eloquently than goliath: Nah...
They only announced OW for integrated carriers at 50% with the increase in mileage you mention. They announced OW on partners with HON on business only and Z-fare mileage decrease & SEN 100k for DE enhancement round.

So, what does this mean for partner * Gold? Will we now be able to book F with miles as of 9/1/12 or will open seats still be restricted until (if lucky) a week or so before the flight date?

Thanks for translating my (huh?) into a full sentence (nah...)!

I don't think anything will change in terms of availabilty to *A redemptions using other FFP miles (if that was your question).
I wouldn't get too excited... methinks we will only see the ability to book OW awards on integrated partners online, and no other partners.
That's what I think as well. However, the agent I talked to last week seemed pretty sure that we would also see the ability to book all *A partners online.

That's what I have been told by Melbourne, AU agents when asking about it. Wanted to do SYD-ICN-FRA and FAR-SIN-MEL as two one way awards (cannot be done as three region) and was told it won't ever be possible...

So in practice what we'll be getting is the ability to book OW direct awards, as we can already book one way connecting awards in the current tool [at least Intra-Europe]. Not much to look forward to...
Any speculation if:
Fly smart OW at half price will be part of the offering?
Pay with miles the taxes portion on Intra EU at half the miles?
