Now for the OW specific question: AA also doesn't show the space, so I think its BA blocking the space for AS and AA members. But the plot thickens when I log into my JL account, and it shows the space as available. So, its obviously not a blanket block for all partners but is BA now being selective of which partner FFP members can access their awards? Since when has this been happening, and is there any trend or pattern that can be observed? Like BA releasing seats closer to departure (à la LH F to their Star partners)

(Problem is I don't have any JL miles right now, and they don't have any CC transfer options except Marriott Bonvoy, which I don't have enough of either...but I digress)
