I had been monitoring MEL-SFO and SYD-SFO a few days before the agreement, and UA had plenty of award saver availability in business on these routes (plenty being relative to the usual amount of 0 availability) which were bookable with star alliance partners. I made some bookings for November 2022 and there were many days with 2 seats MEL-SFO and some SYD-SFO throughout 2022. Interestingly, they had 0 availability from SFO-SYD/MEL, which leads me to believe that it was intentionally blocked one way since Americans have easy access to UA/Star alliance miles to book these with. I rechecked a few dates on the 24th of May, and it was all blocked out in business ex Australia. So it seems UA is now intentionally blocking business awards ex Australia because we can now book them easily with VA points.</p></blockquote><p></p>
