Avios availability MAD connection flights to Germany
I have booked Avios C award flights with Iberia South America-MAD-Germany(or Switzerland) more frequently in the past (eg EZE-MAD-FRA). This was always easy and bookable up to 361 days in advance. Since I need such a flight again for December 2020, I have already taken a look and experienced a surprise. The flights South America-MAD are bookable without problems, but the connecting flights MAD-Germany (or Switzerland) are bookable only 320 days in advance. But a connecting flight to CDG or SXB is also bookable 361 days in advance.
Is this a glitch ?

The only thing that makes sense about approx. 320 days is that the summer schedule will end in late October 2020 as usual, and IB may not have loaded the winter 2020/21 schedule for short-haul...

Short-haul longer in advance than 320 days is possible to France but not to Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
