How many days out can one book Etihad flights, and how many J and/or F tickets are released?
Does EY release seats on a regular basis once the initial few are snapped up for that day?
I am hoping for one leg in J and one leg in F for 2 passengers to Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane. A380 of course, preferred, but really, anything in F is fine. We're hoping to visit Australia and New Zealand.
Thanks in advance.

Finally got a helpful agent to book SYD-AUH-JFK F. Seems like the better ones are on during the daytime and the bad ones on at night. Had called 4 times previously at night and got unhelpful and one rude agent. Definitely do a commendation when you get a helpful agent book this complicated flight!

i've booked dozens of mini-RTWs over the past few years, but would booking these sought-after flights be worth getting an assist from a travel rewards site?
We were thinking of doing a mini-RTW, but if it simplifies things, we're fine doing a round-trip and then use Australia or New Zealand to go onwards to SE Asia.
Due to our work schedules, my friend and I can only go in July or August 2021 (we can travel parts of one month and into the other).
Hoping for at least F for the 2 of us in the 380 inbound/outbound, and then F in the 787-9/10 or 77W is fine for the other leg.

I'll definitely start reading up as much as I can on the type of equipment and routes.
If I'm on my road trip in August, I might not check the Aeroplan site for a few days. I guess I just need to be flexible, and if I can see it, snatch it up.

- how much expertise you have
- how much time you want to invest yourself
- how flexible you are regarding dates/routing/etc.
If your parameters are "need to depart within that two-day window and onlywant to fly this route", an award booking service is unlikely to add much value if you only have one miles currency and already have a decent amoiunt of experience.
But if you are more flexible (e.g. "would like to travel during the month of x with a strong preference for EY F regardless of route...", then using a competent award booking service may be quite useful in terms of finding the best options available and not spending too much time.
