It's not the Amadeus part I'm confused by...it's why the AUA/*A? When I specify that method for a flight from JNB to SYD, for example, it tells me no availability on that day. But any other method shows available flights. (Can't give you the exact message now 'cause I can't access the tool at work - never did solve the firewall issue despite trying the advice in the help section. It's really hard being technologically challenged.
