Spence- are you saying there are no AWARD seats available? You just said 'for FF' which could be interpret as 'I am an elite' or 'for mileage redemption'.

Anyway - had similar problem this year for ticket for my sister from PHX-PIT. Eight months out, only 1 seat had been allocated for award, and she was in it. Even funnier - until July, she was the only one on the entire flight (a 320 I think). Kept trying to get another one opened for her husband..

I just had this vision of my sister being the only one on the flight. If you knew my sister, you'd know why noone else was buying tickets on the same flight ;-)
