Hi Magnus from a sunny NZ (well, now it's 22:51 but you know what I mean!). You mention NRT and PEK as your final destination (I think PEK, right? Old 747?). KVS doesn't usually show TG availability for award redemption (it does for Gold Upgrade which books into A or J classes (F and C) though)

I looked at award flights on TG using the ANA tool - which I think gives a very good indication. It shows:

12/6 FRA-BKK F avail TG921 1500 only
13/6 FRA-BKK Nil F availability 1500 and 2115 flights (C and Y both OK)
13/6 LHR-BKK F avail TG911 1230
13/6 MUC-BKK F avail TG925 2110
14/6 FRA-BKK Nil F availability
15/6 FRA-BKK F avail TG923 2015 only

14/6 BKK-PEK F avail TG614 1040
18/6 PEK-BKK F avail TG615 1715

29/6 BKK-FRA F avail TG922 1155 only

So, it looks like you could depatr LHR or MUC on 13th and return to FRA ('open jaw' like this where you return to a different airport is OK I think). Or leave FRA a day earlier.

I wish I was travelling too!!

Cheers, TK

My birthday is also in June, but I don't think I will be able to travel to use the 50% redemption. I hope it is made available in 2009.....
