That's not uncommon since UA ruined the award search function.
You could probably find saver J from SFO/LAX to other European gateways (ZRH, MUC, WAW, CPH, etc.).
We booked that flight the day it was loaded into the schedule. It's been very very difficult for years to book west coast TATLs in saver J.
If you saw SFO-FRA on 11 & 12, it is no longer there. The flight to IST is there but no connection out.
I am aware of the OS flight as I just flew back this Monday VIE-LAX-SFO in J - booked last year when it could be booked as a single award. I looked for it this year but no luck.
Thank you and others for your help - I'll keep trying.
