Discussions on FT.. has some FTers using the ANA tool to identify available flights not available via AE..
however pointing this out to AE reservation agent, doesn't make the ANA itinerary available to book on AE. AE reservation agents and online booking follow only inventory designated available, regardless of what the ANA tool says..
Having said this, there may be a secret way for AE reservation agents to get around this.. through persistance.. but hasn't happened yet that I've read.. and if it does very seldomly..
