Calling does not help either, as it seems the agent sees exactly the same thing I see. I can confirm the availability exists on other airlines website and can also be ticketed. Just want to get some advice if there's any work around on this?
I called 1K line twice for two different itineraries; one is US-TPE-PVG and the other is HGH-ICN-US. Agent tried to help; one agent tried to get help desk involved. No dice😂😂
Basically, you cannot find availability of either TOK-PVG or ICN-PVG. But the return is available. TPE-PVG/other Chinese cities are available both ways. US-China award ticket is impossible to get on any *A carrier.
