I had asked for the ex-LHR flight from the beginning but only then did they secure the 2 seats for us.
I think there were only 3 seats available when they opened O for us.
Just had to cann A3 to reissue the ticket after that.
Ah, cool. And it was all initiated by A3? That's great. In this case I'm gonna hold my ex-FRA booking and see what will happen. Thanks and good luck with your trip

I initiated it. At first I reached out to A3 asking to be moved onto one of the other flight (NH or LH), but they said they could only do it subject to O availability.
Then I contacted the NH service desk via email (have been in touch with them before regarding other things) and they were able to move me onto the flight out of LHR and open the award space.
The last step then was just for A3 to reissue the ticket (NH had opened the space and adjusted reservation such that it was just one clikc of a button for A3).
It might have been important to refer to EU261, I don't know, but it definitely did work out for me.
Let's hope that Japan will be open by January (even though I doubt it, so might have to cancel after all)

Got it. Thanks. You're flying to HND? I was pretty sure everyone is flying FRA/LHR-HND-LAX. Transit in Haneda is open since quite some time.

I'm heading to LAX, but was planning to head into the city during the layover.
Will be flying with my mom and she's never been to Japan so it would be nicer that way.
Also have backup flights in Business out of CDG (cash ticket), so I'll be waiting till fairly last minute to decide which way around the globe we'll be flying.

I guess it is there because TK has yet loaded NW22 schedules.

My knowledge is not up to date probably so I do not know what TK has to do with it? I thought NH wasn't anymore from West Coast bookable as this was kind of glitch..

the award is always there. It just has been pushed out of by all other routes. For the moment, TK has yet loaded its NW22 schedules, all routes with TK are not available. Now NH routes starts to pop up.

NH route appears where TK is not available, e.g. Oct 29th? It should also be available near term as a lot of routes are not available because of COVID.

Case in point, if UA routes are available, hardly can find NH route for LAX-LHR. So hardly find NH routes within 330 days.

F is not available because the aircraft they use for the LAX-TYO leg. It's an 787 without F.

Without any further look, from SFO can it be 77W?

With LAX the issue is that the flight that squeeze into the list is with the small plane. I have a feeling that from SFO the issue might be TP taking up valuable space and pushing the ANA option off the list.
If not then it should be available. The same for LAX but the 77W is off the end of the list.

If LH could be offline, the list would be very interesting.
