Award availibility from BKK ~Nov 10th...in F??

Im looking for award availibility for 2 seats in F around Nov 10th or so...to pretty much anywhere in Europe...

I cant find anything on TG but lots of availibility to BKK...seems weird. Anyone know if there is an issue I am unaware of?

November is a big month for festivals, Loi Krathong comes to mind. There is availability on the Thai FF program on selected dates

TG schedule doesn't appear to be extended through November 10 in Starnet yet so for sure if you're trying to book with partner miles it's simply too early.

It allows you to book *alliance flights, either designed altered or made by United for their FFs, I imagine there are lots of threads on it over on that site, follow up on your question, try again the first Wednesday in January 2011

Was *net really designed by UA? Those crack IT monkeys?

OP, any querrie over in the UA forum over *net will get you in over your head.

Suffice to say, TG doesn't release seats for availability in similar timely fashion to other *A airlines.

So true, the correct way of saying it is that they " manage award availability" from Star Alliance to their FFs. This was the reply by United to a FF reporter in the Washington Post dated Sept 29th 2008. It was wrong to say they made designed or altered the site's awards, as reported they only managed the availability.

But this has absolutely nothing to do with OP's problem. As gleff stated, it doesn't appear that TG has loaded their award availability past early Nov.

Of course I read them... they're often quite entertaining.
