Looking at making an award booking and wondering how the points will shake out. The outbound (one-way) will be a hop from Zone 2 on a *A partner to LHR, then BD to Zone 2. ANA shows both economy and business availability on both flights. I think that as BDG I get business for the economy price on the BD flight, but not on the partner flight. Can I then book it for 6000 plus 3750 (connection in Z1), with a seat in the back on the hop and a free upgrade to the front on the BD flight?

The return is unfortunately more complicated. There is both economy and business availability on the BD flight back to London, but on the hop back home to Zone 2 on the *A partner there is only business availability. Will I have to book it as a business award (9000 + 5625) and forego the free upgrade on BD, or will it be 6000 + 5625, or none of the above, or what?

Thanks in advance.

cheers,

Henry
