Asiana Award Space Pulled from UA's Website [Restored as of 4 March 2015]
I noticed over the last couple of days that Asiana award availability to/from U.S. was available almost every day of the year...including on days like 1/3/16 when there usually isn't any tpac award availability.
Now, it looks like all Asiana availability has been pulled from United.com. I hope this is just a temporary system glitch or something....Asiana is usually a great source of weekend award space to/from the U.S. and SE Asia!
Anyone seen Asiana's award space go and come before like this?

Strange, but I seem to recall this happening in the past. Who knows whether there is a similar cause as in the past or not:

On a related note, award searches today are erroring out quite frequently for me today, much more than in the past. It makes me wonder if UA is making website/availability adjustments.

Last time OZ award space disappeared from .com, UA Insider got involved and it was restored.

Is C award on TPAC A380 on OZ supposed to be hard to get? There were so many of them available just a couple days ago!

Someone at the United Premiere desk told me on the phone that a) no system notifications, and b) she was still seeing Asiana award availability.
*sigh* I guess I'll just have to wait until they fix whatever it is that isn't broken....

I'd suggest booking over the phone if UA can see OZ availability and you can't, and have them waive the phone booking fee for that reason. If you wait, someone else may book those OZ seats (and maybe through another partner where they can see OZ availability online)
