Which route/airline did you book and which class?
LX MAN-ZRH-ORD oneway in C ( I )
How many pax and how many award miles?
1 pax, 52k miles, £431.50 (of which £172 is UK APD)
How many days/weeks/months did you book in advance?
5.5 months
Have you been able to book your preferred dates of travel?
Yes.
Were you happy with the award booking procedure (e.g. online/by phone)? How often did you have to check/call until you got the seats?
Booked online. This is the first leg of a mini-RTW trip to visit the US and Japan. ORD is not my destination but is a relatively convenient entry point and awards to ORD are more readily available.
