I am looking for BOS 04/17 - JNB r/t 04/27 Business/First class

The results for week are all over the place.

Today (12/31/08 1:56PM EST) both outbound and return come up as LOW - 175K!!!

try it again and they come up as medium, then again one of each.

I realize the easy answer from DL reps is "award inventory is always changing", but this the a computer computation problem.

I am DL Gold and really believe that the move to CO and STAR-A is looking better each week.

Heck for 175k miles I can have Premium First class (not International DL Business) on United!

I jut did another EXACT search BOS-JNB Business/First 04/17-04/27return.

BOTH directions come back as LOW.

300K miles

Let me repeat did the search @ 1:56PM and exact search at 2:46PM EST and BOTH come back as low, but the second "low" is 300K miles

300K miles for "low"(Yes, Green box) 50 minutes later.
300K for LOW.
