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,

Be really careful with this. You should search EDI-FRA-XXX and then XXX-LAS, as LH married segments mean the EDI-FRA hop can "poison" (as I like to call it) a longhaul connection.
