Has anybody else seen this? Does this mean that the new UA is going to be far stingier with upgrade/award seats?
Just for fun, I'm messing around with some award bookings (BKK-ZRH F departing 10/29 returning 11/5) and it will show availability on the search page, but when I actually select the LX flight with a random return, it tells me that "due to rapidly changing inventory, the following flights are unavailable..."
