They've really tightened up business class inventory on their two Canadian routes, which is not a technical issue. |
Thanks. Is the the same for LX business ?

As of now AE is still having issues seeing LX/SK/NH spaces while LO is blocked from booking (since June). This made intra-European connectors a challenge if you want to avoid YQ on LH and OS, but not impossible. I was able to find workarounds by using OU (Croatia), JP (Adria), A3, ET and TK.
TK long haul availability between Europe and Asia is pretty good for even the Christmas holiday season, and BR availability for AMS/CDG/VIE/LHR-TPE is not bad either if you want to avoid YQ. That being said, I wonder when this issue will be resolved. I'd really like to have the second half of my mini-RTW put on NH, but I did book mine already and I am prepared to pay the change fee to do so as the first half was already a solid itinerary that I could not afford to lose the spaces for waiting any longer. |
YYT82: great intel - thank you. I wouldn't have thought of looking for OU in particular.

You can also use JP as a connector and check out Ljubljana on the way in your mini-RTW. |
Good summary of the current state of affairs; however, I'm pretty sure JP has fuel surcharges as well.

JP's FFP is Miles&More, so I assumed it had some kind of YQ but not excessive like LH. Although finding JP availability for my desired dates was next to impossible so I didn't even try a dummy booking to see. |

See here. There are technical issues interfering with Aeroplan loading award space with some *A partners.

Is ANYTHING bookable on the website?!?!? |
Update to my own post upthread: JP has the same YQ charges as LH and OS (did a dummy booking to confirm). So if you want to avoid YQ in the European connectors, use OU/A3/TK/SN while issues with LX/SK/LO are being worked on. There are also a couple of cool intra-European routes that can be redeemed on YQ-free airlines: ARN-OSL on ET and ARN-DME on SQ. |
I've been seeing TK and OZ inventory pop up on dates where only AC/OS/BR was showing up before. Hopefully this portends the return of LX and NH.
