LOT Availability completely invisible...
Btw, I have to call in to find out the ability of LO flights. Turn out to be different than what M&M shows. I don't use KVS, but EF showed completely nothing for the award seats in LOT. What's going on?

I PMed UAInsider this morning. Hopefully he will look into this & provide an answer. I guess if he doesn't answer, that's answer enough 
BTW - I pointed out that this is UNPRECEDENTED in the 20 years I've been a member of MP. Some years are better then others but NEVER have they not had ONE SINGLE SEAT avail on a route like this over a 60 day period

Trying to book a flight for the last week of March next year DTW-HNL saver. They have been playing tricks the whole month of march where the days look open to saver, then when you pick your outbound flight, all the sudden, no saver available the return date. Really annoying.

Right, but the extra frustration is when, before you select your outbound flight, the green or blue mark fills your return date... then when you select the outbound flight and in the return date pops up, it's white, with no inventory. If you try an experiment, you can try another date that isn't the typical "week" vacation using that same return date, and often... voila, it's available. May try booking two one ways.

Saver Award Inventory not released far out [Merged]
There is a parallel thread (can't cut link from phone) where we discuss the sudden loss of availability after 3/29. I was watching space and it suddenly all disappeared over night. I am eager to hear from UAInsider.
What was curious and I have not checked recently was that award space from EU to Asia was strong. It was the connecting to US that vanished.

I've been running into the same problem. I had been holding out for a saver award HNL-EWR on the 764ER for a while. The flight is during one of Honolulu's lighter tourism months so I figured I would have no problem. I ended up just grabbing the standard award and setting up an ExpertFlyer alert for the I/IN inventory. Hoping I can recoup those 40,000 miles...
So you booked the standard.... then if saver is available they will refund the difference? I have never tried this...

They tell us there's plenty of award availability.
We can go anywhere.
But, we just can't come home?
And, what, we're over-entitled for wanting to return?
My exact situation... I am DTW - HNL... looking for the EWR connect for the 764. I am looking last week of march so #1 still light month. #2 a year out.
So you booked the standard.... then if saver is available they will refund the difference? I have never tried this...

no status. just lots of miles. so that might cost me. If i remember, I talked to an agent who said if the change is on the same exact flight, there is no fee. I might be wrong though

A hint: The outbound flight calendar is just that.

Don't let your well-founded issues with UA cloud this discussion.
