Hi

Looking to book flights for Easter 2018 - preferably using miles - for the family and I to go to Dubai.

Even though the site lets you search that far ahead (April 08 - April 19) it shows zero availability for any date for either cash or miles in any class. That doesn't seem right....so wondered if the route was disappearing?

Thanks

Really? I’m seeing revenue fare availability in all cabins on those dates. No reward seats though.

My bad...changed browsers and it worked first time! Like you say, no reward seats though...but then I've found a number of posts saying that they seem to appear/disappear seemingly randomly. Will keep checking! Cheers

Yes, unlike BA VS don’t guarantee to release reward seats on the day the flight opens. They can, and do, pop up randomly at any time so keep checking. Patience and persistence usually pay off, particularly if you can be flexible with dates.

Bear in mind, though, that multiple reward seats on a popular leisure route at Easter is a big ask.

Indeed, have managed it a number of times over the last 5 years - will keep checking. Thanks
