Award Availability Changes?
Today I am finding standard award availability on nwa.com on US domestic routes that both WPAA lister and Galileo show NO availability.
Anyone else seeing this?

Tried the same routes today from my wife's account. No standard coach fare availability.
Log back into mine. Standard coach fares are available.
I have plat status she has none.
Looks to me like NW has granted plats additional award space.

I think those seats for Plats, Golds, Silvers and the rest of travelers come from different buckets.
Can someone elaborate?

Interesting, and certainly not good news for those of us with no status. I'm curious as to people's experiences booking awards on NW. What % of time would you say you are NOT able to book the award you want? 10%? 25%? 60%?
