Availability on "native" metal is often different than that to partners. Not a huge surprise there.

I'm seeing BKK-ZRH on TG C not available on CO but available on NH's tool. Same story with a FRA-ZRH LX flight. Travel in December/January.
Is it the same logged out? Co.com has problems from time to time with premium cabin awards on some partners when logged in as an elite because of the way they code some awards internally. If they can book it on the phone it is likely a case of the website being annoying, not a willful blocking of the award space.
