I think all airlines are waiting to see what India does next with the bubble nonsense so I expect more seats to open up over the next few weeks.

Now with the end to the bubble trouble announced, AI should hopefully open out some more award inventory. Have some AI miles which I initially thought were expiring at the end of this month, but got one of those statement emails from AI & now looks like there's a bunch of miles expiring only in June & not at the end of March !! Any similar situation on your end ?

Don't have any miles expiring at the moment but I had lots expiring at some point last year which kept getting extended.

Spent a bunch of expiring miles on domestic redemptions last year and this year...even business availability was quite good on most routes.
