GRU first reward availability
What is happening with reward availability to GRU? I follow it closely as I tend to use my 2for1 on this route but it has been a while that all availability have disappeared after September/October. BA is not changing the plane to a 787-8 or 3 class 777 as first tickets are on sale up to the end of the year.
Appreciate any clues. Safe flying to all.

No F guaranteed - nothing has changed.....
However I personally think F capacity is lower on a lot of routes into autumn / winter - perhaps safeguarding against more planes with either no F or only 8 F

Big picture: BA are significantly reducing the amount of F seats they'll be flying across the fleet in 2020 and 2021. The idea isn't to reduce paid tickets and avios tickets equally: the brunt of the reduction will fall on Avios tickets, AUPs, etc. Get used to it.
GRU specific: LATAM(BA's codeshare partner on the route) leave Oneworld on 1st October 2020
