The only time I've done it was on Virgin Atlantic. Booking flights was fine but VA cancelled our tickets without warning about four weeks from departure when it seems loads got heavy. NZ were no help and I was .... out of luck. I've never tried again.

Yes. I have. TG are easy to get F/J seats on. I've gotten LH F and LX F a couple of times too. Although I hear LX has gone the way of SQ and are no longer releasing Star Awards to partners for F class.

Thanks - do you know if any site (like UA or EF) is reliable for award availability or did you just ring up to ask for a range of dates?Originally Posted by LyingFlat

NZ has access to very limited availibility compared to other carriers like UA. I once searched Europe to Asia flights on UA and AV sites, only about half of what I could see on UA/AV were available when calling NZ.Originally Posted by ANZ787900

Right, thanks. I guess that goes hand in hand with the availability NZ puts out to its partners...Originally Posted by Xiaotung

Thanks - pretty much the same as what you can see when looking for UA award availability when aiming for LH F.Originally Posted by libertyuk
In my limited experience, LH availability in C and F can appear as soon as two weeks before a flight, essentially releasing seats if sales have been poor.
