When EY blocks out saver award space to all partners
that is opens up space on the 777 while keeping 380 closed
That is not due to AA, but EY
When EY shows space to all partners and it is in the saver category
e.g., now from SFO-AUH all days there are 2-4 seats in Business
but AA "can't see them" in the US but UK agents can book it,
it is AA blocking premium awards on EY, not EY as is going on.
The problem now is that UK and A/NZ agents also can't book it for past week
I do note that on the A380 EY has a habit of opening space 10-14 days ahead, even in F when it does not sell.
So often short-term awards are open, while medium term is closed and long term is open once in a while
Isn't Etihad ending the SFO-AUH route?
