Best way to find business class award availability?

What is the best way to find business class award availability? The SAS site doesn't allow me to search for business class specifically.

Thanks!

You can use ANA, though the site is not quite what it used to be. United is another option. Finally you can probably look for I class availability via expertflyer or KVS if you have a subscription for either.

You can definitely search for Award Availability on all *A carriers via the KVS Tool and you can restrict the search to any desired Cabin Class(es).

Will United or Aeroplan have the same availability as SAS?

Expertflyer and KVS are too expensive for the casual user.

They should, SK is not very difficult in how the release awards. Except that they don't release many in J.

This I've noticed! Nearly impossible... any tips for finding availability?
Do you know if SAS releases more awards closer to the date?

They do, but better don't expect too much.
