For several days I have been searching for CX awards on BA.com, but sometime last week BA.com stopped showing any of the routes I was looking for. I thought it was just a particularly busy week with no availability. But, then I checked JAL.com and called AA and the flights I was interested in had award availability.

I then started checking other routes and sure enough as of yesterday the first day I can find an CX availability on a dozen random routes i checked was May 13th. Today the first day of availability is May 14th.

So, it appears blocking is on again for within 7-days of departure. Aggravating, to say the least.
