I see that QR also operates an earlier flight (QR 672) that departs at 2am and arrives at 9am in MLE, but I seldom see any award availability on this segment. Any idea if space will open up closer to departure? Will AA be able to open space on this route?
Have the exact same routing. For me, 2 business seats on QR672 opened up 10 days prior to departure, but one at a time over the span of about 1 day. Availability on AA lagged behind and appeared about 7 hrs after it showed available on the qantas website for each seat.
