Right. We plan to show whether there is a high YQ, but it is impossible to have an exact amount of YQ.

IMO this is fine. This is basically how I look at award flights: negligible ($25 & under), medium ($25-$100), high ($100+)
Yes, it would be nice to have everything in one place but this certainly will make things easier.

Not much. Nothing changed since this.

I reached out to them a couple of times but haven't heard back.

Apparently there no F on this route (switching to "Up to 1 Stop" only shows connecting flights):

Ah this happens again... I think the reason is that the cabins data we bought is not reliable and it says flights on this route has only biz class... I'm seriously considering not using cabins to filter flights until we found some better source...

physixfan and skysniper, if you guys are associated with the company, perhaps we should rename your DDF handles to AwardHacker and AwardHacker1 or something?

Hahaha that's a good idea!

Impossible? Maybe not cost-effective for a free service, but I'm sure it's possible.

No way to pull in the data from QPI Express for example?

QPX is amazing but it costs money on every search :( Need to find some ways to balance the cost...

Haven't heard of that yet, but that's a good direction. I should take a look at that.

Just removed the filter using (unreliable) cabin data. It shouldn't happen again unless with cached results. Thanks for the feedback!
