Based on my own experience with TATL, 90K business awards, I didn't find availabilty until about 300 days out. Last year I booked two 90K Skysaver award seats to BCN for June 2007 travel, but not until September 2006. This year I just booked (this week) two more 90K Skysaver seats for next June travel to Europe. Nothing showed up on 15+ cities in Europe until a few days ago. I even called several times and was told no availablity.

Checking seats in Business, I have noticed the same three seats are the only ones reserved on several TATL flights. On a 767 - 5C, 6C & 6E (Crew rest I suspect) so it appears award allotment hasn't been made on several of the flights I checked for June 2008 as of this week. A couple of CSRs I spoke with confirmred my observations, they said award allotment could be added at any time...or not at all.

Until I booked last year, I had not had experince booking Delta awards seats before. Was it more consistent in years past with the 331 days out?
