Does ANA do summer blackout dates?
Looking at next summer's schedule, it seems that award seats on ANA stop being available on June 9th. Now i know that this is close to the end of schedule, but I was curious -- does ANA do summer blackout dates? Or does their award calendar just not extend as far as other airlines?
Thanks for the help!

I can find a plenty of seats after June 9th for ANA operating flights (However, as a Diamond member).
Now, I can book HND-JFK(award F) on 7th July, and JFK-HND(award F) on 8th July.
Some airlines flights are bookable only for 330/331 days in advance.

ANA loads their schedules something like 355 days in advance. UA only opens their schedule for booking at something like 337 days in advance. ANA members and some other programs can access the ANA award space before UA and so it may already be taken by the time UA opens its schedule.
There may be additional space opened up later but there is no guarantee that will occur.

NH randomly opens up seats. It's happened and I've been able to see only one seat was taken on KVS tool.
Usually NH releases 3 seats in F which is what I target for. However for some reason this Christmas and next new years NH is only releasing 1 seat in F. So I hope/assume they will be releasing 2 more soon.
