The fairly obvious answer is “DE isn’t making the flight available for whatever reason”? Obviously AS isn’t blocking anything- it literally costs them more to route you to SEA or PHX.

Is DE Award inventory searchable on ExpertFlyer? If so and you have a subscription you could search there.

I don't have a subscription to ExpertFlyer so don't have any way to verify.
Condor have any other mileage partners I can check availability on? Not sure if it's just Condor not releasing those award seats to anyone, or maybe just not to AS

DE only loaded the flights for sale yesterday. Give it a couple weeks to show up on the AS site. It took about 6 weeks before the new BA PDX-LHR flights appeared on the AS site for award travel.

I see. I wasn't aware they loaded just yesterday I figured since DE has other routes loaded through the summer the SFO-FRA would be loaded by now as well. not sure why that one is taking longer to load (if ever?).
Re: BA PDX-LHR is that something anyone here would be interested in? I presume not given their crazy fees.

Because it is a brand new flight that they only announced a couple of days ago.

Anyone have any recent data points for how long it takes for revenue DE flights to post to AS?

Thanks. I flew 5/11 (Wednesday of last week) and as of today (Friday 5/20) only the AS segment I purchased with the Condor ticket has posted.

Flew SEA-FRA on 14 APR. Miles didn't post within 14 days, so I emailed in receipt and copy of boarding pass. Radio silence from AS for 3 weeks now and still no miles.

I liked your post, but read it as a thank you for sharing your data point. Definitely not liking the experience you are having.

Linked a vlog with an A332 J trip report here, it was FRA-PMI so the IFE isn't turned on and the meal service/bedding is obviously different. Does give you a good idea about the hard product.

Condor A330 IFE

You're out of luck for Y/Y+ though.
