As it's a BA reward programme I would have thought it would make sense to give those who redeem on BA metal a better deal.

The countdown begins... T-7 days. I want to know what the multi carrier award chart will be. A year and a half ago I redeemed 100K miles for a 6 segment CX/QF/JL/BA itinerary, of just under 20K miles - ZRH-HKG/MEL-SYD-BKK-NRT-DME-LHR - and I am thinking of doing a similar trip again without going via Russia.

Just to be a little more deceptive BA have added on line that award prices will increase by as little as 4%!!!!
What’s the other goal post? 104%?????
Very poor execution on this.

However, Cathay cut availability on more or less all flights in November. I was about to book HKG - KIX or NGO, and there was availability in J on all CX flights. Exactly on the day I figured out I was going to KIX, all flights had disappeared from Hong Kong to Japan on CX. They were all there the day before, including flights to Tokyo as well. All gone.

CTS - TYO on 20 November has 17 direct flights with availability on JAL + a few indirect flights.
TYO - HIJ is also wide open on that same date. Browsing a few different dates gives me the same result: Availability wide open.

Have you been able to book a domestic JAL redemption beyond 60 days? It doesn't work online despite the flights showing. I thought this was because it's phantom availability and that phone agents won't be able to book it either.

Yes. I have 5 award flights booked with JAL in September and October. Booked through the Gold line.
