When does S7 release award seats
Hi, just trying to find when S7 releases award seats, in particular to allow partner frequent flyer programmes redeem awards on S7. I'm looking to use Qantas points in late 2015 for an S7 flight from Moscow to st Petersburg. Thanks.

I tried that flight before for award with Advantage Miles and they told me none of S7 flights east or Ural mountains are available for redemptions.

S7 seemed to pull all award availability on certain routes
Just checked on DME-GYD and back and no availability in coach or business at all. Looking for the first week of September but checked for weeks before and after. American Airlines agent doesn't see it either and BA.com shows nothing also. Something is up.

Hi, any chance I could ask you to run that search for mid-Dec? I don't see any availability at all past Oct 24th for DME-LED, either using points or just buying the ticket. They've had availability for flights until Oct 24th for about 6 months now, but never updates beyond then. Any idea when seats become available? Thanks.
When I was looking at DME-LED late last year all I could see was up to end of March.
I would think the Winter schedule flights would be released around end of August (total guess).
I would have thought there would be no problem as there seem to be loads of daily flights with tons of availability.

Winter season schedule starts on 25 Oct and S7 currently has all flights zeroed-out beyond that date.

It's definitely not 330 days out. Example would be their own schedule published range. Right now they go up to Nov 15, 2015 and the are no flights loaded past that, it's anyone's guess when they load flights further into 2016.
