I also wish Expert Flyer would fix this. I use their service for other things but no access to EK award inventory is not good. EK website is clunky and seems unreliable. Recently I searched for an F award from about 5 US cities to DXB in June. Each time the first response was "no first class flights available, showing biz class instead". Then when clicking 'show available flights' it says no flights available. Maybe I will try the QF website. IIRC they show EK award inventory.
