Impressed by the new Premium Cabin, I am keen to take a trip LAX-LHR on an Air New Zealand plane in the Premium Business Cabin.

I am planning to travel in September 2006, so would imagine by then on that route there should be 95% chance of getting a refurbished aicraft.

I will be redeeming a miles+cash redemption with BD (bmi british midland). Does anyone know when I should call in to book - is it 350 days ahead of travel or 11 months (330 days ish) - as I am anxious to get the dates I require (will be flying either Sunday 10 or Monday 11 September)?

The bmi agent gave the impression it was 330 days, but they are so difficult to get through to on the phone I wondered if anyone here might have the answer?

Are there any embargoed dates and is there likley to be availability?

Thanks in advance...
