A little scary as you would expect it to be actually requested at this point. However it then comes up with the following screen:

http://upload.xandrios.net/145925623...d%20search.png

The different number of miles required are because of routing and Y/C redemption, though I am not sure if you can actually check for both on a given date. You will also need enough miles in your account in order to proceed from here.
It seems the website has been updated again.

You can now click "Spend miles", search for an aegean route, and you will be brought to the month-overview. Then click on "Change":



Select the day you are searching, de-select "flexible with dates", and tataa: All availability, in miles, for all classes. Even if you do not hold enough miles for those awards in your account.

Booked:
one-way AC business SYD-YVR 75000 points + 54.92 euro + 20 b/f
one-way UA economy RDM-SFO-SYD 50,000 points + 39.91 euro + 20 b/f
Was unable to combine an economy connection (where business unavailable) with the business redemption. Also unable to use a 2-connection trip when a 1-connection trip was unavailable. (Both, I think, as expected).

is it possible to book star alliance award ticket through the web instead of calling? I have checked that there is a form on the web for star alliance redemption. After I filled the dates and origin/destination, what happens when I click submit? I have not decided on the dates yet, so I do not want to click submit. Thanks.

Edit: Also if I want to do A-B-C and D - A, do I need to redeem 2 OW tickets? Thanks

Thanks! I just want to make sure from CGK - KIX there is no direct flight and I need to make a layover in another city, which is less than 24 hours. The return part I want to fly from NRT - CGK and there is a direct flight. In this case do I still need to redeem 2 tickets since there is only 1 layover?

Also if I want to book using 2 different airlines for example CGK - NRT with asiana and NRT - CGK with ANA, do I also need to issue 2 OW tickets?

When redeeming by phone do I just need to prepare the flight numbers and dates? Also am I allowed to redeem award ticket for someone else? Thank you.

Asiana isn't doing CGK-NRT, but anyway, if there is availability, you could get a single return ticket (which is better then 2 OW tickets, since only one service charge would have to be paid).

As for redeeming miles for ticket in someone else's name - it's possible, of course.

thank you. I just made the call and they could not find seats from cgk-kix on any airlines even though united website and expertflyer is showing availability for business saver award. Is there a website where I can check availability of award seats that is bookable by aegean accurately? I tried using COPA's website which is listed in this thread but I keep getting no flight options error. Thanks!

From personal experience, what Aegean sees available is not consistent with any of the online tools you could use to help you - neither the ANA tools, nor the United or AirCanada websites, not even the ExpertFlyer. They see completely different things and there is no explanation why. It comes up here on FT A3 forum every once in a while, but there is no definitive answer why that is.

Your best bet is just to call A3 and ask for availability every once in a while...
