does QR black out J and F reward ticket for summer period?

can't see any J or F reward ticket on QR or BA's website since 27/6/2024. A lot before this date. Not sure if this happened before. Does anyone have any idea? Or QR will still release J and F reward ticket for this period later?

Historically, premium cabin rewards have disappeared between the first week of July and the first week of September. Perhaps they have extended the premium season?

I'm making the wild guess they prefer cash to avios. So if they're confident of selling out the premium seats for $$, they're not going to throw them in the rewards bucket.

If they've been over-confident and demand takes an unexpected downward turn, they might release some seats. But banking on that would be a brave gamble.

Maybe grab an economy seat while you can: economy really isn't so bad. You can cancel and repurchase should those unicorn J-seats materialise. If you're Gold or above, that operation is free up to 3 hours before departure: if not, it's still only $25 to cancel but you must do it before the 24-hour marker.

A bunch of First Class seats for Bangkok in either direction opened up recently for July and August (as well as some J to European destinations like WAW). That was a bit unexpected, as they're still not showing even any Economy on those routes for weeks on end.

My girlfriend doesn't know how lucky she is for her visit.
