I've read that Eva's website gives accurate award availability, but from what I have experienced, this is not true. After some searching, I have 1 flight with 2 biz seats (out of a 6 week span), but then called United and was told they were not available. Agent used his system and found another flight with 2 seats and attempted to book the award ticket. 5 minutes later, Eva's system rejects/cancels the ticket. I then spend another 30 minutes figuring out an alternative itinerary and the agent books another ticket for me. This time it took 15 minutes, but my ticket again got rejected/cancelled from Eva.
Is there some trick in finding award seats on Eva? Does Eva release seats closer to the departure date (ie. could I book econ and hope that biz opens up later)?
