FRA - Tokyo (all airports)
FRA - NYC (all airports)
FRA - GRU (Sao Paulo)

What is going on?
Has anybody has encountered a similar problem?
Welcome to the LH forum on FT. It only took you 7.5 years since joining FT to post for the first time!

I have tried to find business awards between the end of November and the beginning of December (usually a quiet time for award booking) to all three destinations and had no problem finding awards as long as I am flexible by a day or two. It seems the loss of status is influencing award availability.
