Most often, I'm looking for CX seats. I've used the *A seven day search a few times for the AC miles I sporadically collect, and it makes the searches so much easier!! Thanks, KVS!!!
At the moment, only the [Awards/StarAlliance] Engine natively supports 7-day searches. If we were to implement a 7-day search for other Methods, it can make the multi-day search process more convenient, but it would be technically impossible to make those searches any faster, as the speed is determined by the Engine speed itself.

We already did (about 12 months ago ) -- if you use the [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Method, the CX Award Availability shown is, in fact, partner Availability and will match what the AADV Agents see on their screens.
