Also, I did notice the availability in February, like you said, but at that point did not know that I would be going (it's a ticket for a companion to travel with me to a meeting).
Themicah, is there any way to check KE availability without signing up for their program? I went to their website but a login was required.
I will keep looking, and will try to call to see if anything else is out there.
It was quite a while ago when I saw the availability on CO. We had considered getting 3 award tickets this year August 5 - 19, KIX or NGO - TPA - KIX or NGO. There were 3 seats for 60,000 miles on NWA available in January 2006...they are long gone now, though. We decided to pay money in the end for a circle trip with 5 stops on CO in August for $4000.00 for 3 tickets...way cheaper than NWA, and the fare class will earn 100% mileage for World Perks.
