No Biz/First Availability 2 weeks out for Lufth/Air Swiss
Something very strange is happening over the last couple weeks...I see no biz or first availability on any flights swiss/lufthansa over the next 2 weeks. Anyone else having trouble? Has the pattern changed? There are plenty of paid seats available on the seats so it's not like the flights are full so I would think that things would have opened up by now?
it's not like i'm trying to book that far in advance, my ideal date is only 5 days away!?

If so, good luck at this short notice.
TATL business is good for the major carriers and all the saver award seats are long gone ... I've seen lots of "Standard Award" availability ...

well..usually <14 days, lufthansa releases awards pretty systematically depending on paid ticket availability.
i'm not seeing anything around 2 weeks out either, nor have i for the past few weeks as i started checking.
i've booked dozens of lufthansa first awards, including during peak times..so i'm jsut saying this seems very strange.
they usually have seats very reliably if you leave it to <2 weeks.
