For SFO-SYD, there was DIRECT flight F space for TWO available on:

Nov 7,10,12,14,16,17,18,20,21,23,24

I only looked between 7th and 24th because that was my window. Now the available O space is ZERO across the entire month!!

Same situation for SFO-LHR award F space. I am soooooooooo glad I booked F awards for LHR and SYD on Jan 30. 2 days later, and I might never see Intl F award again!!!
+1. At least they gave a heads up. And in all fairness, we (United flyers) didn't have this extra ON space a year ago. Was fantastic while it lasted. Wish they could find a middle ground.
