United is missing
Don't want to start another thread. Has anyone been able to find any transpac or transatlantic Polaris J seat from UA? I have looked far and wide and nothing. Is this a new change?

Well thanks all for the updates and the heads-up that it was available again. Thankfully it was just in time for my needs.
I burned the last of my Aeroplan points on J on LX YUL-ZRH-DUB. Probably could have gotten a better value somewhere exotic but this is what I needed and I think a pretty good use of the miles.
I feel like not having any Aeroplan miles left is a kind of freedom. It's one less account I need to worry about expiring or getting devalued away and given the news...

LX is still there today.
I seats available on GVA-JFK tomorrow, no panic.
The LH 'phantom availability' is back with a vengeance. Nothing is confirming and OS appears to be affected as well.
What are the Aeroplan Myths again?
Contact Centre Agents have access to more seats.
As a matter of fact, you have access to the same seats as our agents do by booking through aeroplan.com or through the Aeroplan app*. We can understand the assumption though as our agents have expert training.
BS.

There are unusual large LX availability these days - I was able to book 5 pax in J on LX87/LX86 (YUL-ZRH) for December. The Aeroplan agent I spoke to said it was very rare that 5 reward seats in J were available like that and mentioned that it wasn't possible to book LX through Aeroplan for like 4 months and that maybe this is why there is so much inventory.
Anyway I thought I would pass this info along in case it can be useful to someone.
