ICC are seeing only economy via Toronto but had to push them to try other routes which got a stock nothing available.

ANA is showing nothing, not even route ICC suggested.

Given they are alledgedly checking all routes over a four day window does it seem reasonable that there are no seats in these classes or have they just not been released yet?

Appreciate any advice


If you are truly flex on date, route and classes (F/C) it can be done. There's limited choice around in sept, but a few options in oct.

For example, EDI-FRA-LAX-LAS is available in F (mostly) with LH (& UA) on 10 oct. You can do the reverse on 17 Oct, or come back transatlantic in C on 16 Oct with LAS-LAX leg in Y, which will save you quite a few miles.

ANA won't search that number of connections, but there are loads of EDI-FRA seats so search FRA-XXX-LAS. My proposed route via LAX is just one option.

All the best,
DCf
