ANA/NH change to Amadeus impacts–UA not showing NH award space/ANA award tools broken

Has anyone else noticed that ANA award space isn't showing up anymore on United.com searches after ANA's maintenance update over Saturday night?

I'm finding that the ANA codeshares with United on paid flights that I saw early yesterday and a few days before are now no longer appearing on .bomb (but still appear on ANA).

NH is in the process of transitioning their reservations platform to Amadeus. Availability issues will probably continue for a little bit following the cutover.

When OZ switched to Amadeus, there was a ton of award availability when they came back on line.

Didn't SQ do that too? I wonder if NH will make the same "mistake"....

Either way we're still glad to be able to search awards using NH on NH's site.

Yeap. Not good.

Hopefully things will get sorted out, but now I fear there's really no accurate star alliance award search engine. I know the old ANA was clunky and horrible to use. I don't care about that. I want accuracy in availability. =\

Last night, all three of United, Aeroplan, and ANA brought up different results for the exact same day/time/route. BLAH.

On my first search, it came up in Japanese. Great!

This is the real news here -- the loss of the ANA award search tool. Sites making using of that tool are down.

Wondering if it's NH doesn't feed award availability to UA or UA is not showing NH awards?

My guess given the interface between the two companies has changed -- that during the transition it is likely a combination of both until a new stable interface can put into place. Although since UA gets the availability from *Net, so unless that was impacted by the NH change, it may just be NH issue. Note the earlier post that AC is also having issues with NH.
