I'm not following.
KRK-JFK? Who flies that route nonstop?
LH flies via FRA, but does AB even fly that route at all?

KRK-TXL-JFK

Thanks.
When I first tried to type KRK into the AB website, it didn't autopopulate. I had to scroll down past their US gateways.
So, sort-of-related: sounds like the AB A330 lie flat in J is nice.  Hoping to fly it BOS-DUS at some point.  (also hoping to fly LH F...)

Serious question: is AB award availability supposed to be visible on AA.com, or need to PUTPAC?

EK JFK - MXP is the cheapest with JAL at 50k in F?
If I see availability on Alaska website is that available with jal?
Could I hold my award meanwhile I'm waiting for my spg transfer to go thru?

FYI AB only has Y availability through AA through Mid-March and no J at all. And no availability beyond that. I got my J in October.

I'm just seeing connecting flights on BA. At least for June and July. And it's not giving me the option to select non-stop flights only.

Ah. Thanks. That explains why I'm not seeing anything in June/July.
Wonder if I PUTPAC?

And I'm looking BOS-DUS, not NYC-DUS.  The AB options are not showing up for BOS, at least not that I can see.
