    No reward seats to Christmas/Cocos Islands?

    Just had a look for VA reward seats on the PER-XCH and PER-CCK routes, and couldn't find a single one any time in the next year. Is VA blocking redemptions on this route?

    Award availability

    How do you know if there is 'accurate' emirates reward availability on the emirates website without having points in your account and clicking through to different menus. QF website is easier to click through to a point where you need enough points to book. Reason I ask is I don't want to...

    LoyaltyLobby article: "2023 the worst year for award availability?"

    An interesting read, and I would probably agree with this. It has been even harder than usual to use points lately as people have accumulated more points during the pandemic and then all want to use them at the same time - just as capacity is reduced...
