OW awards classes on reservation systems
 
Hello,
Since Friday July 31st, I've seen that OW awards classes are not longer on some reservation systems. For example, I've tried Expertflyer and KVS, both are not showing Iberia U/X Classes on any flight. Are you gonna have some changes on the awards classes?

IB award inventory continues to be available via KVS Tool, however it requires the Platinum membership level or higher:

Actually, ExpertFlyer now has specific Business award inventory (U) for Iberia (as well as award an upgrade inventory for other OW partners) and is available to even our Basic level subscribers.

But when I checked the above dates and flights posted by KVS (minutes after he posted) EF did not show any availability on IB.

The problem is that even KVS shows availability and maybe Iberia internal system, when you want to redeem with some non-OW airlines (Ex Avianca) they take the information from Amadeus regular reservations. Iberia used to keep their U (business) and X (Economy) on the reservations systems until July 31st, somebody knows if it will upload again X and U classes. The flight I want to make it's MAD-MIA Dec 22nd 2 seats on Businnes. I checked it out on Expert flyer and it's not available.
