First stop was the online tool, but I've had some issues with it. The planning mode tells me there are the flights I want AKL-SCL, but in the booking mode it won't show them. Could this be because it is for Aug 2010?
If the online tool lets me down, what's the best way to book this? Should I phone one of the airlines to book it? If so which one? My itinerary includes AY, JL, CX, QF, LA, BA if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

Looking at the week of 7-13 August 2010 (don't know your dates) there is "L" class availability for 4 pax on LA 800 on 3 of those 7 days, so it's just a case of picking your dates. Don't tarry, though - that's a tough "L" class seat to score much of the time. Also don't forget that Qantas flies SYD-EZE so with some minor rearranging of your itinerary (what is it?) you ought to be able to get over the Pacific easily enough.
