It returns flight options, with prices, but says there is no availability.

When searching on Expedia, it tells me they've searched over 400 options and have no results.

Is something going on with Lufthansa's systems? Am I doing something wrong?
Surely you are not going to pay 1,029.14 GBP one way between BHX and DRS! Why would you want to change the sequence of the flights?

The most expensive Economy return (on random flights) I can find on the dates chosen is Economy Flex (No rebooking fee, Refund fee: 120 EUR) at 448.44 GBP booking into W and K.



If you want to book fully flexible Economy tickets you may have to contact a TA. The online LH booking engine is not flexible enough. If you are booking closer to departure, e.g. this week, Economy Flex books into B* and costs more (911.84 GBP return) but not as much as 1,029.14 GBP one way!

* This Economy Flex ticket can be changed without fee provided the original booking class is still available. Otherwise the fare will be recalculated and any fare difference may apply.
