This thread has been very useful... But I find myself in a bind. We booked CAI-AUH-JFK in F for early 2017 as a placeholder with the intent to move it to a date in late March when it opens up. Over the past couple of days, I've made some dry runs to see if we could change to late Feb 2017 dates as soon as they open up...but I'm running into the same issues as people are describing here. AA-USA can't see what I see on etihad.com. AA-Australia sees a bit more, but no dice on the AUH-JFK segment. This is making me very nervous. I've asked agents to try booking segment-by-segment as well as point-to-point, but the results are the same.
Is there anything more I can be asking agents to do? Is etihad.com a definitive source of what is and isn't actually available?
Oy.
