UA MP Lufthansa economy award availability, has it changed?
Does anyone know if something has changed with availability search for LH awards using United search and miles?
I have been monitoring the availability of first class saver awards on LH from FRA to LAX non stop for a couple of weeks and now United site doesn't return any awards results for that route? I usually see some economy awards at least, but right now, I see no award flights.
Anyone else noticed something changed?

In the worst case, the search would at least show the flight as bookable with an award in economy or such. But today, it doesn't even return anything.

there are some severe database issues with the LH group right now. Wait for Monday to see if this resolves. Several of my booked and confirmed flights don't show up in any database right now and while LH shows they exist, LH and LX throw an error when trying to book them.

10 days later and it seems that the availability of the flights in general is very sporadically showing up now. Used to be that they would show up everyday for the next day and now they seldom do.
Anyone else sees this new pattern?
