So... I'm noticing something interesting. I'm booking a multi-city trip in Asia (I usually go during the holidays). Last year I was booking around for weeks and a lot of it was booked on partner metal and booked through united.com, both revenue and mile redemptions. It's not 100%, but the majority I was able to book through UA.
I'm trying to plan around this year, and just noticing nothing available.Both paid and mileage tickets. For example, I'm looking for a SEL-TYO ticket (ICN/GMP - NRT/HND). Usually I would always be able to book an ANA or Asiana flight or something on a codeshare. The entire inventory wouldn't show up, but some would. Now for a lot of major cities, I'm noticing nothing is showing up.
Has there been a recent policy change or something? It's not just this route, but seeing this for a lot where I used to in previous years. It's odd.
