This online award booking on other *A carriers is a great improvement. I hope they'll also extend its functionality to "More options" being available for other than A3 (incl. codeshare) destinations. So far the search results are limited, but thanks for it anyways, A3! We can still call and feed an agent with exact flights for more sophisticated itineraries for just €20 extra. Not a big issue.
What makes me especially happy is no YQ on SK flights. Great!
