EVA availability glitch
Hey guys,
Not sure if anyone saw a bunch of EVA seats released on Aeroplan today. It still shows available on Expertflyer but they stopped being bookable a few minutes ago as I am about to finish booking my return trip. Did someone at EVA screwed up and released a bunch of seats by accident?

Okay, it definitely looks like Eva just pulled the plug. We were seeing 6 J availabilities every day from July to Next March, but those are all gone now. There was a period between around 5:30 PM PST to ~7 PM PST where the flights still appeared on Aeroplan/United/Lifemiles but we were unable to book even over the phone with Aeroplan. But as OP said, those are not even showing up anymore.

Looks like this must've been a mistake.
Thought it was pretty strange at the time, did some searches and award availability was wide open to all/most US/CAN destinations. There were days with 8! seats in J.
Wonder if AC/AP award booking being broken most of yesterday was related to this, or just bad luck that awards broke when these seats were available.

Oh man..... I was on my phone in the evening and I noticed flights available from SGN to YWG ......so I then looked at HAN for the same route. I was so excited and thought I was so lucky. I told my wife and then went back in and everything was gone! I had not looked during the day so thought I missed out because I wasn't paying attention all day! Been steaming about it all day.............until I read this. It sounds like they were available for 12 hours - I literally must have been checking right at the bitter end of the evening.
