LOT Polish Award Space Now On United.com
In a way there's an inverse correlation between award availability and the ease of searching that space online. In other words, as much as I appreciate when airlines make it easy to book award tickets online, it also means there's a lot more competition for those seats.
For example, American lets you book many of their partner airlines directly through their website, but not Cathay Pacific. As annoying as it is to have to call to book, I actually prefer it that way, because it means there's less competition for those seats.
United has a fairly comprehensive website when it comes to displaying partner airline award space, though historically they haven't displayed Brussels Airlines and LOT Polish award space. These two airlines also happen to have extremely good award space, so I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that's at least partly due to the fact that it's not bookable through United's website.

Christopher Elliott Joining BoardingArea
Well this place is about to get a lot more interesting!
For those of you not familiar with Christopher Elliott, he's a self proclaimed "consumer advocate" with a "rescue complex" that's "fighting the good fight."
Now if you ask me, "consumer advocate" seems to translate to him helping people that can't read.
Did you fail to read the terms & conditions of a promotion and are angry at a travel company and swear you'll never do business with them again? Then Chris is your guy, as he'll reach out to the travel provider and make things "right" (and by "make things right" I mean quite the opposite, since he's basically getting the "victims" a one time exception because of his influence, which does nothing to help the average consumer).
