expert flyer can show available award buckets, but it may not have the flexability that you want....perhaps you & friend could look at the ua & co sites & if either sees 1, say eureka!...fare compare does something along this line....

some info is in the mi run discussion stickies...

good luck...

ps...i don't know what the fare code is for cheap awards...certainly you have seen 110k mi availability...

your frustration is wide spread....many people start looking for awards 11 months in advance...
