When does AC O open up for partners?
I booked 4 RT Business class tickets to Europe for this past summer. It include flights on Austrian and AC. I booked with United Miles to save on the ridiculous surcharges. Unfortunately, due to a medical issue, I cancelled the flight, and was returned all the United Miles.
I'm now looking to book the same trip next year. I see AC availability (use Aeroplan) for the dates/cities I want on AC metal (none with Austrian), but it's not appearing on United or ANA tools.
Question: When does AC typically open up this space for partners to book? Or is it safe to say that if it hasn't been released now, it probably never will be?

Thanks for clarifying... I can't seem to find any direct flights to AMS, WAW, CPH, FRA, ZRH, VIE from YYZ for 4 seats in J next summer... Looks like I'll have to connect via the US to make it there!

There are ORD-BUD, ORD-KRK flights on LO that usually have quite a few low-YQ seats.
