And interesting I have seen 30 day calendar I have seen shows random days of zero miles+taxes and when you select them the mileage shows up for the local business class redemption mileage and the calendar updates (still showing a random zero miles!)
jsloan do you have any insight into
when this happened? I swear a few weeks ago (maybe longer, like I said I am retired - time is oddly hard to keep track of!) it clearly let me do it before I started trying to do my goofy multi stop trip!
I was curious about that too, and I checked the web archive. It's not conclusive, since the catalogued history is a bit sparse, but that exclusion was apparently added at least as early as end-September this year.

Personally, last year (2023) was the last time I sought to use the excursionist perk, and it worked fine. But I have been noticing in recent weeks several queries here from people having trouble with it (edit: several posts in this thread:
UA award booking, change questions / issues / routing / excursionist problems).
