Has AC got any slow periods? Seems AC's flights are pretty full all year round so has little need to increase Classic Award availability...and anyhow, it will make more money from selling ClassicPlus awards.

As for this "great offer" from UA, it pales to AA's regular offering in off-peak periods of its NAmerica-Europe award seats in coach for just 40K rather than the normal 60K. Now that's a deal!
