Standard awards available before Saver?
I've been watching, getting ready for next year and I keep seeing 2 days of Standard awards before the Savers show up. Is this normal or just a coincidence on my itinerary? Anyone else seen this?
Also, what time do the new dates get loaded into the system? Midnight eastern?

They seem to load the flights in Y or the high buckets before adjusting them in the schedule.

I've been successful bagging savers 330 days out @ midnight
(Chicago/Houston time)!
Click on "DATES are FLEXIBLE" and check the calendar.
Yellow is for saver economy & blue (sometimes) gets you a look at saver FC/BUS, and sometimes blue gets you a mixed bag!
BTW, this is allot better than the pmUA , .bomb search!
