transpac - You make an interesting point. I am making the assumption that for a *A Award then all A* Carriers have access to the same inventory. This could be incorrect.

The specific date I am looking at is the 3rd January. I'm not sure if LH have an on-line tool for booking Reward flights but if they have I'd be interested to know if any M&M members can get Business or First on this date for JNB-FRA-EDI.
