Europe to West Coast- No Award Tickets Less than month out bookable
I've tried various combos of cities.
AMS-SFO
CDG-SFO
as well as other west coast cities- if I pick a date sooner than 1 month it shows no flights available- yet if I go out to november or december it will show availability. What is going on? didn't seem to have this problem when I was booking from West coast ---> Europe.

I don’t think there is anything special going on apart the fact that they have sold all award tickets for the weeks to come and this is certainly the norm rather than the exception. They may open up a few more availabilities closer to departure date, but nothing sure.

No there are awards availble according to expert flyer - and like I said it shows no route served as an error. It only allows me to even see possible awards Nov 16 and beyond. Try AMS-SFO and CDG -SFO on the flying blue website- shows no route flown. Bump it out to march 2018 you see a route or go to a paid ticket it shows flights. it's glitched or something

if you are looking for near-in availability, do NOT tick "search for flights around these dates".
if you pick a date within a month of today's date, then that type of search fails....as there is not a month around your chosen date for such a search to fully assess.
There are *plenty* of seats.
