What time of the day does Jet Airways release awards?

All airlines have their patterns, I was wondering what time of the day does 9W tend to release award space?

I am looking for 2 seats with AA miles on flight 121 LHR-DEL, in any cabin but specific date, and this would help me know when to call AA to check on availability.

Thanks!

there is no particular pattern....in the past they would often release seats a month before the flight but as of late there is no consistency with that as well....

I don't think you can bank on any partner getting 9W inventory.

Based on what I have learned from others here, I do believe you are right about F and 90% right about J.

Re coach seats though, I already have two booked, so 9W does release them. However, something came up and we must leave one day earlier. I can't check availability directly at 9W, so need to keep checking with AA everyday if not more often. The purpose of this thread was to learn if any particular time of the day is best for such an inquiry.

The only other LON-DEL nonstop bookable with AA miles is BA, which comes with crippling surcharges. Available, but we are trying to avoid them for now.

Try a connection from LHR to DEL on one of the below to avoid the BA YQ.
FinnAir via HEL
Gul Air via DOH
Ethiad via AUH

Those, as well as RJ via AMM, are in my scanner. However, a nonstop will be convenient and 9W is the only other possibility with AA miles. I am looking at everything, but leaning towards 9W should it become available.

You can call 9W and check availability.

Thanks. Although, if I have to call, I'd rather call AA where I have access to elite lines.
