No 4x F reward availability LHR to JFK post Mar 19
I am looking for 4 F reward seats to NYC next year. I have 2x 2-4-1 to use so happy to go whenever.
A check on BA Redemption Finder shows 4x F seats readily available, but only up until late March 2019. Between April 2019 and July 2019 there are no 4 seats to be found on any day.
I understand BA don't commit to F reward seats, particularly 4 of them. However this is surely strange?
To confirm 2 seats are widely available during this time.
Is there a planned reduction in F reward availability post March 2019?

I think that BA is being very careful with their First inventory.
I have a friend that have a 2-4-1 and he found two seats available in june, he did not had time to book them, when he got home in the evening they were gone. Maybe by any chance you have some jokers which make 2-4-1 be worth it.

It sounds like it's a completely different issue. The thread title is inaccurate. The OP says that there are plenty of F award seats. There simply aren't four together on any particular flight.

sorry after posting I can see my title thread isn't accurate. I tried to edit it, but the change won't update.

I've been monitoring this for a while for the same reasons. While past performance is no guarantee of future availability, you'll find 4 X F will slowly be made available into April. Two months ago it was up until January 2019 and now we're getting March.
