For example, LAX-LHR is a hot ticket, and I imagine that they don't release empty seats until almost the end. As you might be able to see, UC is almost always available from JFK, MCO, and MIA...sometimes!
This is not my experience. I have booked VS UC award tix using CO miles twice. Both times award availability was showing up on the VS website, but not on the CO website. Both times I called OP, and the award seats were available on the dates/flights showing on the VS site - even though the agent said "oh that doesn't mean anything" when I mentioned that they were showing available on VS.
Very well worth the 100k miles IMHO, but I view VS UC as an excellent business class product, not to be confused with a first class product.
