I wonder if it will also be possible to change or cancel award bookings online. I have an existing one but the system says I have to call if I want to change it - but that's probably because I booked it by telephone before the new system was available). If this is possible it will be even better.

Wow very good news! No need to call in anymore for booking Now we can see which flights are being "starblock"
Unfortunately, can not search for AC/UA flights yet.

I got some in Greek and some in English for our family members, I guess it depends what language preferences you have set in your profile?

Same for me at the moment but it definitely works in my account, which is the most important thing imo.

I could check this. 80% of the Aegean mail I receive are in English, 20% are in Greek.

Just made a few searches to try the tool and wanted to share a few things:

- I was able to see LH F availability for JFK-FRA on 15DEC. We know LH only releases F award to *A 14 days before departure.
- Checking BCN - MIA for September found that TP shows 45'000 for C and 60'000 for F. TP has no F, and if you continue the booking, you will see booking class I (Business award) in both cases. Seems to be a glitch, be careful!
- Was able to see AC flights several times, although always in Y only
- No UA flight showing up ever
- TG and SQ showing up occasionally
- Generally very good availability on longhaul Y on LH, longhaul Y/C on LX and TK

I knew several *A airlines wanted to implement this tool to book award flights on other alliance partners online. Never expected this from A3. Good job!!

Are they gonna add UA at some point? If not, not very helpful for North America...

Teething pains are going to be around for a while, the system probably is not 100% full proof.
