How were you checking the schedules you say you saw?
>Anyone know why there are so few flights on 1/2/19? seems to be exactly the same.
>Anyone know why NH812 isn't showing availability despite an empty cabin? NH inventory control. It is the very high season (new year), so dont even epxect any award space to be open.
>Does NH release seats at the last minute? Depends on the route. feel lucky if it does open up for this popular route.

>The only difference between previous times and this time is that this ticket is an award ticket on UA.
there is always a first time for everything.

> it still wouldn't let me select the exit row. Anyone experience this before? Yes. For *A ticketed tickets (not ticketed by ANA), ANA only recognizes its own elites and not any other FFP elites (such as UA). I am a A3 gold, and usually face this issue with M&B tickets for seat selection blocks.
However, I dont redeem for economy class, and so the level of issues with seats in my case (business class) is not the same as your case (in economy class).
You will have to wait until check in opens (T-24). It is what it is.
If exit row is important to you, either book a separate cash ticket or miles ticket with ANA, and input your *G FFP number.
