UC Reward seats

I'm watching for reward seats on 20 April and return 11 May next year between MAN & MCO.
Rather suprised that today (29 June)all reward seats in UC from now until then have disappeared (on rewardfinder.com)

Is this normal? If so, does this happen often or is it just a glitch?

Got PE seats on VS75/76 on the mentioned dates, but are desparate for UC No idea why

I think it's a glitch with VS (I noticed the same this morning too!). Rewardfinder is showing no availability in economy either from this week through to next year which I find hard to believe!

Searching on the app throws up an error - "the request can't be completed right now". Usually you will get a no seats available message instead.

I was looking for 25 April next year for LGW, MAN or GLA to MCO for days before they were due for release but hardly anything was coming up in April. Managed to grab 2 GLA as soon as they came out but I think I was lucky as there was still nothing from LGW or MAN.

I do lots of reward bookings from MAN in Upper and I find it works differently to other airports and other airlines where you have to book as soon as flights are released.

The sweet spot for MAN reward seats is generally 6 months out, but can vary - and closer to the flight date they often pop up.

I usually just set up an alert on rewardflightfinder.com and leave it at that, I haven’t missed a holiday yet due to lack of reward flights.

Only one I am slightly sweating on atm is a three week trip to Florida in late Oct/early Nov. Still no availability for this and it’s been like it since the flights were released. Hoping something comes up soon.
