Most likely on the end of UA and AC, as it wouldn't make sense for LH to block availability for them but not other *A ffp's. Especially with AC, it's probably due to the Swiss F debacle from several months ago.

LH Doesn't block anyone, they just have a different inventory logic for some carriers, for example AV's office IDs see different things than SQ. Sometimes the list gets reset, like it did last week.

Seeing some LH J availability months in advance on UA that wasn't there a day or two ago. Wonder if that's got anything to do with this, or just coincidental. Is J in advance with LH common on UA?

Hi is May/June months popular months? I'm trying to look for F award space for 2019 and seeing nothing for all of May or whatever available dates that is book able for June.
Been checking every day but only Business Flex is showing..i'm trying to book with M&M as I read that partner airlines won't get seats release until T-14 but I'm surpirse I'm a whole year away and not seeing anything! or am I doing something wrong?
ideally looking to do FRA - LAX but flexiable to fly to anywhere in N.America that has F but all the routes I'm entering in shows only Business Flex..

If a flight shows F3A0 2-3 days before travel, is it highly likely to open up F (O) award space, or low likelihood?
If it is likely to open up F award space, then does it happen at a set time of day, or do I just keep checking every few hours?

Just want to remind you that Asina Club does not let you book flights within 72 hours. Must be at least 3 days away!

It is question of when to blink: does F3 (or F2) with 2-3 days to go mean high enough likelihood that F award space will open up and thus I can keep ignoring my Plan B? (I have a fixed date when I need to travel.)
Or is the likelhood so low that I should just book my plan B now?

I'm hoping to use SQ Krisflyer miles for this award redemption.

or none, a colleague of mine got a seat to LAX that was F1, waitlist cleared night before the flight.

Hi,
I am trying to find availability for LH F or LX F to India in mid December using SQ KF miles. Unfortunately my travel dates aren't flexible. I see some availability in early December on LX and LH on random dates to a couple of Indian routes. This is showing up on SQ website, Expertflyer and also on united. There is also availability showing going TO Europe on LX F on SQ, UA and AI websites. However I am unable to find anything for flights coming back. For the date I need the Indian routes are showing F5 A2 and F7 A5 and F8 A0. Is it likely for 2 seats to open up closer to the date? We are of course more than T-14 days away as of now and I am checking multiple times a day since there is a possibility of LX F also. Is there a better way to check for LX F than United and/or AI? SQ online search tends to show the India-EU routings but never returns anything for the EU-India routes which is something to do with the way their search behaves.
How likely is that LH F space might open up? How about LX? Currently I am only looking at routes out of FRA for LH and ZRH for LX on the A333. Any other routes I am missing?

Only SEN & HON are entitled to F awards on LX.
