New NRT-ORD flight 1012 not bookable yet on ANA website?

rxziebel · Jan 10, 13, 9:09 am

Just wondering if anyone thinks there might be a problem with the newly announced second flight NRT-ORD. Flight number is 1012. When looking at August 12th for example, the ANA website will not show this flight for booking. Since I have an award reservation on the flight, I know it exists somewhere. Could this mean that ANA is considering not adding the flight? This has been several days, so if it was going to be loaded it should be done already.

Just curious if anyone has any idea about new ANA flights not appearing on the web site for long periods after they are announced.

Thanks

I booked two trips between July and Aug just two days ago and I booked NH011 and NH1012 on all of those trips from ANA North America web site.

Can't seem to post a screen shot, but I just tried Aug 1 from ORD-NRT and Aug 12 return and flight 11/12 shows up as well as 7009/7006 (United codeshares). Nothing else.

I got NH1012 put up by using ord-ICN or ord-TPE as destiation. I don't know why it won't show up on just ord-NRT.

8/1(TH) NH011 Chicago(ORD) Tokyo(Narita)
[ Tokyo(Narita) - Tokyo(Haneda) ]
8/2 (FR) NH683 Tokyo(Haneda) Hiroshima
8/3 (SA) NH6985 Hiroshima Seoul(Incheon)

8/11(SU) NH6974 Seoul(Incheon) Tokyo(Narita)
8/11(SU) NH1012 Tokyo(Narita) Chicago(ORD)

8/1(TH) NH1011 Chicago(ORD) Tokyo(Narita)
[ Tokyo(Narita) - Tokyo(Haneda) ]
8/3 (SA) NH1185 Tokyo(Haneda) Taipei(Songshan)

8/11 (SU) NH1188 Taipei(Songshan) Tokyo(Haneda)
[ Tokyo(Haneda) - Tokyo(Narita) ]
8/12 (MO) NH1012 Tokyo(Narita) Chicago(ORD)

BTW, the trips I booked two days ago are already not avabiable at this time.

Thank you - worked like a charm.

Confirms my feeling that it is an older version of FC. Unless of course there is a plane change.

Unknown at this time.

Yes, that is correct -- the launch of NH1011/1012 has been temporarily suspended due to the 787 grounding and related scarcity of aircraft.

I have NH1012 for the end of this year and it's showing the older 777 with 2-3-2 pre-staggered C class seating, therefore is not cancelled but just switched equipment...

If you read the link, you'll see that those flights have indeed been suspended until 31AUG13 according to the GDS. After that date, the schedule is unchanged. However, if the 787 does not return to service by then, the suspension will likely be extended.

I have NH1012 booked for December and is showing the 777 (2-3-2) C configuration. Just booked yesterday. Hope it changes to the 787 by December.

NH1011/1012 will not be operated by the 787. It may be switched to the IOJ-configured 77W by December.
