Are there any ways round this?

Hello Martin,
daumueller and me, we ran a "study" on award availability, what we found is that few days prior to departure they open up award classes (again), if there are enough seats available. eg (fictive example) five days prior to departure F9 A9 O0 C9 D9 Z9 I0 R0; three days prior to departure F9 A9 O2 C9 D9 Z9 I4 R4; the day before departure F9 A9 O4 C9 D9 Z9 I9 R9.
However, that means those award seats are usable rather for u/g than for award booking.
