Sorry, WAY OT here, just tryin' to help.

Thanks for the heads up...interestingly we haven't been moved out of 83 (yet) but we have been move across the aisle on a couple of the flights.

Yes I used UA miles. I only ran up against starnet blocking where the ANA tool showed space but UA could not find it when I was trying to get from FRA-CAI when I briefly held IAD-FRA-CAI-JNB. But there was another flight I was able to get space on. So for all of these permutations I only ever ran up against the *block that once...

YYMV, natch!
