Totally FALSE. When you make a statement like (1) above, be prepared to back it up. I just went to usairways.com and put in a 25K request for a mileage saver award ticket from DCA-LGA for a departure on June 1 and return on June 4. Not only were flights available, there were 12 choices for each flight on each date and a link for even more flights. In fact, EVERY flight on US was available for a mileage saver award for those dates between DCA and LGA.
