Decrease in intraeuropean BA award availability
I guess one of the aspects where I've been quite spoiled as a UK-based EXP is award availability with BA. It's never been as good as *A availability via UA, but typically, so long as a flight had a bunch of seats available, at the very least, business class award availability would appear a couple of days beforehand. Lately, even monthly award maps have been looking very empty indeed. I know there's school holidays in the UK right now, but it has started to look like you can no longer count on BA availability via AAdvantage for a last-minute weekend getaway, even if you're very flexible with destinations. Is this BA or AA turning off the tap?
