Reward or Miles Availabilty - checking online

Hi,

I may be dreaming, but i though the VA site used to show availability of reward flights across a range of dates, so you can see at a glance which dates, if any, are good.

All I get is the no flights/class available message.

The route is LGW - MCO in UC and my dates ultra flexible for Sept - Nov 08.

I may be confusing this feature on VA (or not) with another site?

Am I?

Andrew

Nope you are right, looks like there are no Z's to be had, which is nothing unusual to be honest.

PE is showing pretty good availability though.

Interestingly the west coast flights are showing pretty much wide open which is amazing in itself, except of course for Las Vegas which is pretty much a must be for a move to LHR, or maybe a second daily flight [:I]

It really does depend on what the reward availability is like to what the website does. LAS (like MCO/HKG are) is a tough one for getting G's on. Its a small UC cabin with prob only max 2 reward seats per flight available and during the busier times probably not even that.+

The VS site does offer alternative dates if seats are available close to the dates you have inputted but if there is nothing close it just gives you that annoying message. Your best bet is to give FC a call, they will be able to tell you much quicker, which if any flights/dates have some availability.
