Yeah. Just try it online, does it not come up?

asia via Europe from where? Am I to assume you mean the USA? If so it can be booked via Europe. Try specifying the airline. E.g. New York to Tokyo via Turkey on TK only.

Are the segments available individually?
NA-ZRH-NRT used to be available before M&M closed the back door.

Yes, on UA with 6 hours connection. It looks like you need it via phone now...

USA-Asia via Europe in F and C

I just pulled IAD-FCO-BKK online in F (January 3rd). I have been able to pull IAD-DXB-BKK online in C on UA and TG.

You said LH now you quote UA. Are the individual segments all available on a SINGLE AIRLINE. i.e. Lufthansa all the way. If you use the booking engine to specify a SINGLE european based airline then it is possible. e.g. Swiss NYC-ZRH-BKK.

Extremely newbie question but I've never done this sort of ticketing before, so here goes:

If I book two one way awards A-B-C B-D-E and drop the B-C segment so it becomes A-B-D-E, is there any chance of my second B-D-E ticket being compromised if they were both LM award tix?

'Chance'? Yes. But Id say the chances of one of the planes crashing is higher.

Ahhh!! I mean the flights are available on LH, solely on LH metal. Space is available on the UA ENGINE and ANA, but it doesn't show on lifemiles even though you're forcing the airline in the click down box. You got it to work for NYC-BKK?
