ANA and KVS say yes, but bmi site says no to award availability
Ana and KVS (which uses ANA as its source but is easier to use) show me availability when I want to travel, but the bmi website doesn't show the dates I want.
Before I ring up the ICC, can the bmi FTers tell me if ANA is infallible? I have always found it spot on in the past, even for complex routings.
Thanks in advance

Exactly FOM, I hope it's not that married segments malarkey... Although the fact it is the DC website engine leads me to think it's just a 'quirk.' 
If ANA shows availability, I think you'll be OK.

Thanks all for checking for me.
Surprised as in good surprised or bad surprised?
Ok now LHR-AMM looks wide open both ways, whereas earlier it was greyed out bar a few light blue days.
But DUB-AMM, which was all greyed earlier, remains grey.
I can book DUB-LHR in C and LHR-AMM in Y... is the the 'enhanced' DUB route my issue? Clearly I don't want to book 2 redemptions.
Also, is there any internet way to book LH or TK as award tickets as both show availability? (I'm rusty at BD award booking and spoilt from AF's easy site and unlimited availability to plats)
Thanks again to all. (And isn't the site buggy, the way it keeps kicking you out- both in IE and firefox?)
