October 2017 Reward Seats

[skstorm]

Could I ask if anyone has either seen or obtained October 2017 reward seats since the website change? I haven't seen any on there at all. September has loads but nothing at all for October since the change, yet when I ring they tell me that they are being released but all gone. I am checking a couple of times a day and haven't even so much as seen one which I find really unusual :-( Can anyone help? Has anyone seen any? maybe its me.

I haven't seen any since the change over either, called a few times as well, I don't think any have been released yet

As I said in response to another post that asked a similar question, they have changed the Flying Club rules, as well as the web site. Off-peak reward flights in future will require only about half as many miles, but these new rewards will only be available from mid-January. They probably think that no-one would want to waste their miles by using twice as many as they would otherwise need to by trying to book in the mean time. Perhaps reward flights with earlier dates were released before the change announcement so were already in the system.

Yes, flights were available for early October & a couple of dates still are, but nothing released since 15th November.
They said reward flights can be still be booked on old system until 16th January. I'm not bothered about the miles as I've saved enough & just want to get booked!

I've spoke to a couple of people now - all saying something different but all insisting they are being released as normal. First person said they were now released 11 months and 1 week which would explain why my flights weren't there but not the earlier stuff. Today I was told they are releasing the whole month at once, I honestly don't think they know what's going on myself but just freaking out a little as my outbound flight is in school holidays. I have the miles just need the seats but I am more and more convinced that if they are releasing flights we can't see them on the new website

Can you see any dates in October now at all? I can't see anything after September!

I'm looking at Manchester/Orlando, theres nothing going out but I can see 2nd,4th, 8th & 9th return, that's in Premium.

I just checked other routes, there are plenty of flights in October for LHR to Miami, so they must be releasing seats, just not for Orlando!

We wanted October 2017 gave up and booked BA with a car and it was cheaper than using all our points plus money without a car! How can that be! Plus we only had to pay a deposit.

I'm phoning up everyday to see if I can get my date but keep being told they haven't been released yet. To be honest when my return date becomes available I'm just going to look at M+M and keep an eye on the prices but I was told that they no longer do M+M for children
