This rule no longer exists except for awards on Eurowings.
Terms & Conditions - Miles & More flight awards
2.2 Advance booking period and ticket validity
Your flight award can be booked up to 361 days before the departure date required. Flight awards are valid for up to twelve months from the date of issue.
Your flight award can be booked and issued up to two hours before departure (Exception: with Eurowings up to two days before departure).
When you search for an award for today, for example, the award availability display defaults to 2/3 days out with the error message "The Calendar dates had to be shifted so that each day stays within the site travel limits. (7127 - 10031)" but if you click the left arrow next to the earliest date you can actually see awards for today.
