Well, this is interesting. I just called about this to see if I could make a reservation for the MilesAAver award in U for flight A136 on 10/8/11 (even without the ability to book U for LHR - MXP) and I was told that there was no award availability at all for that flight as it had not yet been loaded into the system. In fact the first "sighting" of award availability on that route was on 9/27/11.
