HT to Lucky on the new QF flight from SFO to MEL:

Quote
What’s most exciting about this flight now being bookable is that award availability is wide open in business class. Qantas is ordinarily very stingy with business class award availability, and I’m seeing 2-6 business class award seats on many flights.

Someone needs to teach TPG how to limit searches to AA only.

There's always plenty of BA space.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Someone needs to teach all 145 employees at TPG how to limit searches to AA only.
There's always plenty of BA space.

J AND F on BA wide open!
Fake news!
I've been searching these routes for months and nothing has changed. There is a whole bunch of BA and a very small amount of AA.

JFK-LHR AA availability has opened significantly recently
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

A direct result of obscene YQ.

LCY-SNN-JFK has just $201.10 YQ in J, not too bad.
