LOT Award Availability
Trying to book an award on UA.com for a pair of LOT flights.
The flights are showing on UA.com as available when doing a search for awards but when you select them you receive a message saying:
"Due to rapidly changing partner availability the following flights are no longer available. Please choose another flight or modify your search criteria."
ExpertFlyer shows there are 2 seats on both segments that I am trying to redeem but yet UA.com will not let me proceed. When I call, I am told there is no availability, even though ExpertFlyer shows there are 2 seats, and the flight originally (and continues to) come up when doing an award search.
I am stuck. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, it was the 787 - think that's why?
I guess I thought it would have been removed from Expertflyer as well.
WAW-ORD on 5/10 - looking for IN (C class)
