There is no seamless integration...esp. with the blue demons. We at NWA have similar problems with connecting available award travel routings that are not specified as defaults by NWA.COM even when they're available. It's a favorite rant of mine and others: check the NWA board. What I do with WP (I'm not sure how OP handles these things): book the sectors that are available. Jump on the C class translant sectors now. For WP Plat, no change fees, so keep calling to get the intra-Europe inventory added as a ticket change when (if) these sectors open up.
