Thanks.

I have to agree with belfordrocks. The UA engine is quite powerful and finds some obscure routings (like Asia from NA via Europe) that I don't think will show up on AC. In addition, it will also show QR availability that I don't think AC will show. Also (even if they are pointless), it will show UA Standard award availability.

Given my experience writing my script (see my signature), I could offer consulting services on getting the relevant data off of the UA award searches
