dlflyer00 - just to make sure you are aware, your fantastic tool to help the LM Community here on FT is gathering more visibility. See here: https://milelion.com/2022/08/21/an-e...e-award-space/
I'm not sure the person writing the blog reached out to you to maybe seek your consent (would be the nice thing to do) or whether you care or not, but you may certainly see traffic spike which comes with other expenses for hosting and all that. Just wanted to give a heads up. Cheers ...

The tool does need a bit more caching to speed it up, but it should (hopefully!) be ok.

Thanks for sending the link! Although they didn’t ask, I’m happy for it to be shared. Since the tool only shows you the availability it has already searched for, it should be able to handle a good amount of traffic.

I've been looking for Europe to USA in LH F and the tool shows availability on certain routes but this wont display as a direct routing but when I start in place other than FRA it may show e.g. FRA-MIA no F on a certain day but if look for HAM-MIA it shows F available. Has anyone experienced this/know a way to get around?

I did not know they were doing this widely on F, though. My tool will not currently display this as it is a downgrade on the connection (it would have to be F on every segment to display). Connections where all segments have true F will show up though.

Lufthansa is known for married segment availability, i.e. LIS/FRA/SFO is sometimes available in J even if FRA/SFO is not available.

Does anyone know if the connecting intra-European flights are booked into an F or J fare bucket i.e. could I use EF to find origins where and F award is available? (might be a better question for LH forum)
