I was on the phone with the Agent and he said that he saw the phantom availability but he could not book it.

He told me that if I could book those 2 flights, he would modify my booking after without the $90 fee.

I got to the payment screen, put in my CC and it crashed (Proxy Error), then I hit BACK on my Browser, Reload, Resend and I got an error but the Booking was made (I could see it in my Bookings and the agent also saw it).

I had to do this 2X since I didn't have enough points in my account I also drained the Mrs' account. I got exactly the same error, did back, reload, resend and it worked. The agent couldn't believe I was able to book it. He added my other flights and now it's all confirmed.

The only problem was getting a 3rd SQ First (I wanted SIN-HKG) there was no way to get it. Even if I booked it on another booking the agent would not been able to merge it. I tried Multi-City and I couldn't get it to add to FRA-SIN. I decided to stop being greedy and booked something else.

This is my final booking:


YVR-FRA LH BUSINESS
FRA-SIN SQ FIRST
SIN-KUL SQ BUSINESS
KUL-BKK LH FIRST
BKK-USM TG BUSINESS
USM-BKK TG BUSINESS
BKK-SIN SQ BUSINESS
SIN-FRA SQ FIRST
FRA-LHR LH BUSINESS
LHR-YEG AC BUSINESS
YEG-YVR AC BUSINESS


For 175,000 points per person (Considered Asia1 as KUL is a layover)
and $689 per person in taxes + fees.

I didn't want to go home via LHR/YEG but I couldn't even get economy on Lufthansa FRA-YVR, FRA-YYZ or MUC-YUL for my dates.
Did you check flights through the US?
