Premium appointment (less than 42 day slot no being shown)

[plabo]

I am trying to book a Premium appointment for 24 Feb and despite being less than 42 days now, the slot hasn't opened up at any of the premium centre's... Have emailed their IT helpline as well but no response. Just wondering if anyone of u has had a similar problem in trying to find a slot for a premium appointment in Less than 42 days...for e.g, as of today the slot for 27 Feb should have been released but it is not showing on wards from 23 Feb...anyone got a clue why?

thanx

There are instances on the forum where slots have only been released onto the system 28 days in advance.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email correspondence of 16 January.

If there is currently no availability on the date chosen, the booking system will automatically take you to the next available date (this will remain the same if no appointments have been released for a further date).

We are unable to guarantee any availability for this date, you may need to choose a different date.

Yours faithfully,

so i managed to try again today and got an appointment for 28 Feb..

they did not open any slots for ANY centre for 24, 25 and 27 Feb and went straight to the 28th!

i think this only tells one should not rely on their 42 DAYS BEFORE thing always
