Award availability on IT's LHR flight.

I vaguely remember it being good when nwa.com was around. However when I check even for next year, I cannot see anything on it.com. I found only one day - May 7. Have the reduced availability or is this a glitch?

9W seems to be better on the LHR route.

there is good availability for the current year....they probably haven't loaded the award inventory for next year....

Yes and IT is much better with dynamic inventory. For example for tomw's DEL-LHR flight IT has 3 seats open in IT First (biz class) where the booked load is approx 16 of 30 seats. 9W has a total on 10 open seats out of 30 in biz and 6 out of 8 open in First for the same flight and only 1 seat open for redemption in both first and biz.


Similarly on BOM-LHR, IT has booked 18 of 30, and has 1 open seat for redepmtion. 9W is at a booked load of 15 for the afternoon BOM-LHR departure (15 free seats), and not one open for redemption...

IT as a product may be inferior in some aspects in terms of aircraft maintainence, but is far ahead of 9W on award seat availability

availability on the bom-lhr route is normally good due to the fact that there are 2 flights daily....

I agree on that one. Although recently the availability ex DEL hasn't been that bad. I wonder what's going on.

i have complained personally to top senior management as i'm sure a lot of others have....maybe all the complaints have something to do with it....
