Anyone using seats.aero?
It's a nifty site (that Air Canada is suing to try to shut down) that can show award availability on a certain date and route across airlines and alliances. But I'm trying to use it for a flight this summer and it is only showing Economy. It says Business is not available, but if I look on United's website it shows Business awards. Anyone else running into issues?

If you are looking at United-operated flights, you may be hitting our filtering for dynamic pricing. We always show saver awards, but since there are a lot of unrealistically priced United awards, we don't show all dynamic awards. The link explains the thresholds we use based on flight timing.

Personally, I'd like the ability to turn off the dynamic pricing filtering. I want to see what's available across airlines. I'll make my own decisions about what's worth the miles.
