I liked the old website better.
I just checked some dates and found ANA F on SFO-NRT.

Try your home airport or FRA to BOG, EZE, GRU...I have the best chance of hitting F when randomly searching for availability.

Sorry in advance for large screenshot.

I am seeing Lifemiles have next-day availability for LH F flights to some US airports.

Hello everyone,
is it possible to book LH F US-FRA-Asia in one Lifemiles award ticket for 90K miles?
The website does not seem to allow this routing, and I was wondering if the screenshot method or calling the call center would work instead.

I have been able to travel PEK-MUC-FRA-YYZ-ORD on LH F/C and AC C/C last year before they updated the website via the screenshot method... that said my experience talking to them now is that they have gotten much stricter on the screenshot method :-(

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I just got rejected for the screenshot request I submitted for ORD-FRA-PEK, both in LH F.....I guess it is very hard, if not impossible now.

I have had a van once in about 15 or some visits. All other times it has been Porsche or Mercedes and in several cases they have 2 vehicles to take 3 or more of us. The one time was a van for 4 of us.

Great perk and comfortable, don't really care about the brand of car, but the convenience and comfort is nice.

They’re not hiding it I am seeing F class to/from the US-Germany

Kinda looks like they’re only blocking North America - Europe. For example SFO-MUC the next few days: shows on Aeroplan and United but not Lifemiles.

Did they give you a reason for this?

Kinda...They said it was an invalid routing...To me that doesn't make much sense, but I guess it is what it is.
I didn't feel like pushing it at that point and just gave up.
If you were able to book this kind of routing on LH recently, just out of curiosity, how many miles were you charged?

Nothing recent... 12 months ago I booked ORD-FRA-TYO-SHA. Standard USA—>Nth Asia (90K). Although the exFRA was on NH.

But it was allowed as a routing. But they may have cracked down.

Thanks for sharing, yeah maybe they changed the rules recently.
If anyone could share more data points, that'll be great.

Av changed their rules. No more via Europe for US-N.Asia awards.

LHR/MEL/Europe FF May 6, 2019 1:49 am
Thanks for the update. Good while it lasted. Sad it has gone.
