Think I have managed to work the ANA tool ok and the issues could be down to the fact that I want to travel with the family (4 of us). Have a few questions
We are looking to go to the West Coast of the USA in August next year for a couple of weeks (Open on dates as we speak). Leaving from London. Ideally I wanted us to fly in Business, but all I can find is Economy or First. Why can I find 4 First Class seats and no Business seats to LAX? Do I have to route via Frankfurt to make it happen? What is a rough guide to the tax and how could I look that info up?
The dream would of been to go to Australia next December, but getting four of us sorted seems to be impossible when I look for reward flights (tried the exercise in Feb before this year?
Cheers

1. Flights to LA - Swiss has 4 seats in Business class ZRH-LAX on 10,11,12,13,14 August
2. From LA - Swiss has 4 seats in Business LAX-ZRH on 23,24,25,26,28, 29 August.
Tax - £353 per person (you can either use the ITA website or price up a regular flight on the particular airline's website. It will show the fare and tax elements separately).
I looked at random dates to give you an idea as to availability. Feel free to PM your exact dates and I will look again.
Australia - When using the ANA tool, click 'select transit city' and type in ICN. The ANA tool will then look for seats on Asiana via Seoul. I managed to get 3 seats in Business for September 2010 and there are still 3 more available. The return journey involves a night in Seoul or you could try and find seats on UA via SFO or LAX though I appreciate that this is more difficult during the holiday season.
