This also ends up nuking Alaska's cache of data for 10-20 minutes, during which no one sees the award space any longer, including agents!

However, once it returned, I was able to book it by calling an agent, fortunately.

Side-note: They misspelled another passenger's name which I'm having to jump through hoops to try to fix now. damn it AK...
Touche for mispelling AS' code

Glad you found a workaround.
