Not all of them. A is designated as a "classic" award.

That may very well be the case and would answer my question. But if they no longer exist, what is booking class A then?

Thanks. Then which booking classes show award availability to partners?

That may be the case in this specific case. But there are plenty of examples where you use website A to check award availability of airline B, which you then proceed to book through program C (where C does not show award availability for B online).
