But I have noticed something unusual this morning. I am trying to apply a 25,000 mile upgrade from my United balance so that I can upgrade Air China 984 from LAX to PEK at 00:40 on 25 December from economy (B) to business. Whenever I search for upgrade info using either SNT: Awards/StarAlliance or ITA: Awards-Upgrades/X1* the KVS tool only shows the United codeshare, and not the main Air China flight. Is there someway I can designate that I want to look at the actual carrier's availability, Air China 984?
Unfortunately the ANA tool on KVS does not support Air China.
If you use Sabre availability search on KVS and look of booking class I that will show you Business class avialability for upgrades/rewards.
You can also try using the Aeroplan site. There have been reports that you can search Air China on the Continental website.
