Some possibilities:

- UA doesn't fly the route any longer
- UA doesn't exist anymore
I've been watching this route for some time (maybe a year) and have never seen ANY saver awards available in J, even a day or two before the scheduled flights when J has been wide open. Concluded that if I want to go down there on an award that I would take the UG chance or take a Y saver along with a good seat as it's just 7.5 to 8 hours. Other option is to take pay and take the UG chance. Seems to be fairly regular availability.
