Misleading Premium Saver Award search
 

This has bugged me for a while though I have never seen it discussed here.

Searching for premium cabin saver inventory using the calendar view frequently returns days where only mixed cabin availability is present. In cases where HNL-SFO and SFO-IAD is available but the final IAD-ORF is single cabin, I get it. Much more frequently, it is the opposite: only the chip shot is available. You then have to individually search every possible itinerary to see if any is real (and for Hawaii to CONUS and TRANSCONs, it frequently isn't).

Is there a better way to search for actual real availability?

Been a gripe of mine for years since they downgraded to the exCon interface. Ha! At least you're getting it without going out of your way or making a ridiculous stop to show at least one segment in F. I see it all the time "Premium Space Available Every Day" between ORD-OGG", with routing like:

ORD-BNA (First Class)
BNA-SFO (Economy)
SFO-OGG/HNL/LIH (Economy)

I've also seen it closer to the west coast, a very common one is:

HNL/OGG/LIH-SFO (Economy)
SFO-SMF (First)
SMF-ORD (Economy)

Works internationally too!

ORD-YYZ (First)
YYZ-Shanghai (Economy)

For those not 'up' on airport codes, BNA is Nashville, TN (1 hour flight from ORD) and SMF is Sacramento, CA (50 minute flight from SFO). YYZ is Toronto.

It's actually stupid. I can't think of a more befitting term, but nothing is more descriptive than STUPID.
