O inventory on SU

[dsauch]

has anyone seen O inventory being released on SVO-JFK route? Ive checked 10 random dates and found nothing so far via EF, while KVS doesnt show anything for SU.
Just wondering if those even exist.

thanks!

I booked JFK-SVO-DEL for March 2013 last week. Used Wandering Aramean Travel Tools at http://www.wandr.me/ to search SU (Aeroflot) inventory for Biz seats, listed there as "J", but when booked by phone with Delta showed on itin as "O".

Forgot to add...if you are using skymiles to book, it is very difficult to get Delta agent to 'see' the seat. I finally used the magic phrase 'long sell'. After 10mins on hold, seats were booked. FWIW

SU's policy is rumored to be as follows: two O seats per flight, except for peak season (New Year, etc.), when there won't be any. About two weeks before departure, if sales are poor, more award inventory is released.

And this has been reconfirmed by the management now, plus I really see how it works in practice. Have not checked JFK though recently, but whem I did occasional checks in the past it was always ZERO.
