I noticed the same thing. I've been watching seats trying to get award bus for next early June. We actually needed 4 seats and had been finding 4 seats open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays that seemed to open 6 weeks or so after the desired booking dates. We were lucky to nab 4 business seats for June 5th last week. I have been checking daily for return flights every day and noticed this week that the 12th and 13th opened up. We wanted to return the following week. awards have been opening after Thursday. when I checked today EVERYTHING was gone. Only 2 seats apiece were available for 62.5K in first for the 26th and 27th. Not even coach was available. I figure we will get back some way. I can sit tight till the last minute and if I have to go with coach anytime I will.
