I am trying to book JFK-TYO-BKK then SIN-JFK Business Class award directly with ANA. I am trying to do this for June 2021.The problem I am having is there is no availability for JFK-TYO and TYO-JFK on the return. (surprise surprise). I have been looking for days and can't find any availability between JFK-TYO either way, for any dates I have tried.
What I would like to confirm is if I were to book the legs between JFK-TYO as waitlisted, can I call and change the award ticket for the dates that I want, and get a confirmed ticket that way? Or can you only change for a booking in which have a confirmed booking? (As opposed to waitlisted)
I hope what I'm saying is clear. Thanks!
