Earlier this year, the seat almost available on every flight
We found them 11+ months out, looking earlier they would seem to drop off at just under 11 or 10 1/2 months, could just be the award seats are getting booked and therefore disappearing.
The bigger problem for us, beside trying to finalize something a year away, was that for every date we tried at that 11 month time frame we could never get any connecting flights on DL or NW metal at the lowest redemption levels.
For instance, we found flights all on Air France and Air Seychelles from a U.S. gateway to Mahe and back for 120k each in J, but as soon as we would try to add a connecting flight from DTW or ORD back to MSP where we wanted to start the trip the mileage would shoot up to as much as 280k.
So:
DTW>CDG>SEZ>CDG>DTW all on AF and HM in J for 120k.
MSP>DTW>CDG>SEZ>CDG>DTW>MSP on AF and HM again with the MSP>DTW segments on NW in J or Y for 220 to 280k.
Arggh.
