I am trying to find a direct one-way redemption flight in Business on any CX metal, from HKG to any west-coast America hub (SFO, LAX or YVR) anytime between 19-30 July 2010. Quite a broad search, right?

Well, I didn't think it would be this hard, but it seems the broader the search criteria the longer it takes... (not to state the obvious or anything, but normally with these things, since I'm not being particularly fussy about what flight I take, where or when, I thought it would help... but alas!)

I have spent ages on BA's search facility and have got, errr, nowhere. Is there any better way of searching for redemption availability other than the arduous process of different screens: enter origin/destination, stopovers?, BA doesn't fly - try partners, partners have no availability, search 7 days in advance, only flight available via Timbuktu, blah blah...

...And can anyone help me find a flight? PPpplllease!

Jas starts singing... "Help, somebody; Help, anybody...!"

Ps, for a first thing on a Saturday morning, singing in my home is a sign of severe desperation
