Back in November TPG wrote about the limited *A on EF now. Indeed, the listed airlines (LH, SA etc.) are no longer on the award search drop down menu. However, I just noticed this morning that I was able to create a flight alert for SA (I - biz award) by manually inputting the flight info myself. It seems to be active, and it accepted SA as a carrier. TPG's article mentions that alerts set for the listed *A carriers were set to expire and don't count against your 30 alerts. However, these SA alerts seem active and are counting. So what's the deal?
