The rates are always the same until an airline changes them, I'm not sure what you're looking for in a date field.
Availability.. AA might be a great value on a specific route, but if there's no availability with them or any of their partners when you need to travel, it doesn't really matter.

A free service is not gonna search availability for you.
Yes, you are right, what I actually mean is it is impossible to do it for free...

JFK-ICN-CAN shows as 92.5k KE, should be 62k.

What about if there is no way out of Israel on Mileage.
What country to pay ticket to. Then book a milage ticket from there  (in buisness)
you can only make a first impression ONCE

Use BA to search.
ETA: if you're searching for EY space you have to do it on their website.

I'm not sure what your question is.
