Actually, when the "daytime" LAX-BNA was
drastically rescheduled (6ish hours later eastbound, 4ish hours later westbound) and changed from 319 to 738, all of the low-priced categories were zeroed out yesterday (they're looking normal today) for Xmas week (I'm not sure how much beyond that yet), and the lowest price for a one-way coach was coming up $1400 or so, so I doubt there was award availability at that point on
that route (but I didn't think to check award availability, since I was so shocked at the
drastic change in schedule). There's definitely no award availability today.
Did the changes where the award availability appeared entail
both timing
and plane type, like this LAX-BNA change did?
