I have been planning a trip to Ireland next year (SNN preferred but looks like it will be DUB). A week ago I saw plenty of 57.5k or 70k business class seats in May / late May. I'm looking 330 days out. Luckily I held a reservation. A few days ago there will still plenty of seats - I want to move the reservation into early June. Today I looked (hold ends tomorrow). I can't even get an economy seat to Dublin (TUS-DUB if you are wondering) for under 70k now. Not one seat. On any day in May or the week of June that is now open. That is very very unusual for 330 days out. Right now I'm wondering if I will be able to afford return travel. My hope is they are updating schedules or something and took all the saver inventory out.

In any case I went ahead and locked in my held seats. Not like there are any change or cancellation fees anymore.

Edit: this has to be some kind of system update. Only over the water saver awards I'm seeing are BA. I'm seeing domestic saver, but for some reason those won't combine with BA tickets. Not that I want BA and $800 fee per ticket.
