Can anyone see ANY F tickets on the 5th-6th leaving from Any airport in the USA? I just cant imagine there being ZERO flights..which is why I was thinking I am doing something wrong with KVS when searching.
Im trying to get 2 F tickets ( though would settle for Biz) Leaving late on May 5. Can leave anytime on the 6th as well and from any airport going to Asia. ( HKG or BKK)
Cant find any CX F, BA F, or AA F for 2x people. It seems to be lots early may from SFO-HKG. Even tried USA-EU-ASIA and couldnt find ANYTHING
Ideally I would like SFO-HKG. I am open to traveling "out of my way" to make it work.
AM I just simply using the KVS tool wrong?
CX generally open up awards closer to flight time. Right up to 24-48 hours before flights, so if you can hold out you may be okay. E.g. checking CX own website now for availability SFO-HKG using Asia miles there are two F seats available tomorrow (Friday) and also every day Sunday thru Friday next week. If you are trying to use other OneWorld airline miles (e.g. AA) then you might not see availability until 24-48 hours before... E.g. Award Nexus shows (via BA and QF) two seats in F available for tomorrow (Friday CX 873 departs in 7 hours!!) but none for Sunday -- wait til Saturday and CX 879 may well show availability as it is F4 for revenue seats (CX 873 is F0 on Sunday, so it won't open up)
