European shorthaul redemption loading timeframe
Looking for a redemption flight DUB-TFS in Nov/Dec.
Revenue flights are available, Redemption flights are only available up until end of Oct. (both on avios.com and ba.com)
Does EI have a set policy as to how far ahead SH redemption flights are loaded ?

Just giving this a bump, anyone have any knowledge or reasonable relevant conjecture ?
I note someone posted in Jan about looking for a redemption beyond NOV and not being able to see any then either.
Avios availability Nov 23 onwards

There seems to be something related to the JV with AA/BA, lot of messing with fare classes and so on, but Oct is when they come into force

How would you see that relating to release of redemption seats DUB-TFS in NOV/DEC ? Last redemption outbound is Sat 28th Oct, but revenue seats available right thru to end of December.

The DUB-TFS reward flights that are not bookable on redemption either on Avios.com or BA.com are completely bookable on redemption on United.com, which seems entirely weird.
Redemption seats beyond end of Oct have not been loaded on BA or EI but are loaded on United. has someone messed up ?
Mind you, the "saver redemption" on United is 21K miles+ £8.30 compares to 8.5K avios + £33.50 on Ba.com or 8.5K avios + £11.50 on Avios.com

7 weeks after my original post, DUB-TFS in November and beyond remains totally unavailable for a redemption on either Avios.com or BA.com, and yet entirely open on united.com for redemption using mileageplus.

So, over 3 months later, and checking almost daily, DUB-TFS-DUB has finally appeared for Avios booking, both on ba.com and avios.com. One wonders why they didn't get loaded for months.
Interesting that United only had access to the 2:10pm flight out and the 7:30PM flight back on redemption, and the ba and avios sites today are only offering the 7am flight out and the 12:30pm flight home on redemption.
Anyhow I think 35K avios and £34 avios.com booking is better value than the 71K UA miles + £35. UA allow cancellng with full refund of both miles and money.
Booking the same flights on ba.com is 35K and £120.
