Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like you are booking with UA miles right? If so, is there any point of using ANA or EF due to starnet blocking?

Sorry, WAY OT here, just tryin' to help.

Thanks for the heads up...interestingly we haven't been moved out of 83 (yet) but we have been move across the aisle on a couple of the flights.

Yes I used UA miles. I only ran up against starnet blocking where the ANA tool showed space but UA could not find it when I was trying to get from FRA-CAI when I briefly held IAD-FRA-CAI-JNB. But there was another flight I was able to get space on. So for all of these permutations I only ever ran up against the *block that once...

YYMV, natch!
