Award Pricing Engine Pricing Economy Awards as First

I was searching for LH F space from LAX to FRA and when I searched in the engine, it showed space every day, but when I clicked on the flights, it showed 1 UA and 1 LH flight, one in economy and one in business and none in first, yet the price was the first class price of 87,000 miles.

If you search for First, the new search algorithm will probably charge you for First, regardless of what you find.
Another Lifemiles "enhancement".

And the chances to get LH F SFO/LAX-Germany with LM are very small to impossible...

Yes, I've see that same. Did a simple search for business, the result showed nothing in business but availability in First on TK ?!?! When I forced TK as the airline, the J space showed up.

I'm just hoping it will mess up the other way around too ...

I tried forcing the airline as OZ/NH and F awards just seem completely blacked out, even on very normal routings like JFK-ICN, and even when the F awards show up when I'm not forcing the airline.

seems like a major bug. F searches return all segments in C only, C serches have Y segments only etc....have they blocked F for most airlines?
