Yes. Very odd. Same thing for me. I was looking for a different flight but tried to see if I had same outcome. I’m on the app. Maybe better on desktop? Sometimes that makes a difference for me.

Did you try to call CS?

What you can do to find flights and pricing, is to check a return ticket with POS as a destination. If you select a random outbound flight, you will then see the options for the flight you are looking for. You should then be able to book that flight by phone.

Since award search is limited to members, I attempted to login to fb acct on af website today and encountered, " Sorry, an unexpected technical error occurred. Please try again or contact the Air France customer service team“. Though I was able to reset pw directly on fb website, af still threw same error after many minutes and cookie clear and different browser. I called fb phone and they were able to successfully send me pin by email which they surmised meant that I was experiencing an fb account issue which other fb members were also experiencing and would be fixed “in the coming hours.” Didn’t try huca.
Questions:
1.) are others encountering the same or similar error today?
2.) for those with years of experience with fb, do such glitches occur on a monthly basis (or more often)? Though i have flown and credited to fb before, I don’t often and haven’t for fb award tickets but am considering doing so more frequently in future and am trying to get a handle on how great this pain would be.
Thanks.

The app, with it's limited search capability, is unfortunately all I'm able to use at the moment. Frustrating !

Did the award calendar go away? I found some articles on OMAAT and TPG and others around beginning of 2024 that you do a search "book with miles" and leave the dates blank and it's supposed to pop up a calendar view. If I use Chrome for that, I'll see a calendar for 1-2 seconds and then it disappears and says there's no flights available. Regardless of class of service.

Can't find any availability on Vietnam Airlines (VN) between SIN and SGN, but there's loads of connecting flight availability on Malaysian (MH) and China Southern (CZ). Tried loads of dates. Does on have to call to see if VN have any seats? Going with MH is a good deal, at 11,000 miles and some €33 taxes, but it takes too long.
