Plenty of availability both in X (Economy) and I (Business) on all segments. LX4582 is a TP code share.

Hi Thanks for checking!
Have just rung the ICC and been told completely sold out on all flight legs?
Any tips on this, is it because they are LX flights?

Is it just a case of ringing back later and trying to get a diffrent operative at the ICC?

Ring back straight away and hope to get a different operator. Then take the operator through, step by step, the individual flights (with specific flight numbers) you're looking for. For the code share flight I'd make sure you use the TP flight number, rather than the LX codeshare number.

Expertflyer and ANA both continue to show wide open availability.

For some reason, my ANA keeps corrupting - so could someone please check the following availablity for ONE person; transatlantic in J, but connecting flights can be economy if no J available :

Outbound : June 5-9, 2009

MAN-FRA-YVR
MAN-LHR-YVR
MAN-LHR-LAX/ORD/DEN/SFO/YYC/YYG/YYZ/-YVR

Inbound : June 26-30, 2009

Reverse of above.

Any other permutations OK too !

Thanks in advance.

You can dismiss that route. LBA-CPH has been pulled hasn't it?

I rather think it may have been - tho it still shows up on the *A timetable....
(but then so does LBA-LHR, I guess......)

There looks to be quite a lot of availability FRA-SFO-YVR and FRA-PDX-YVR and return, throughout the period. If you're more specific with dates we can quote examples....

Thanks for the input.

Ideal dates are - outbound : Mon 8 June & inbound Mon 29 June - but this does need to be from MAN - so I don't know what the availability on MAN-FRA positioning flight is ?

OK, out and back through Portland (PDX) looks best by LH in J, unless you have enough miles to go LH F out from FRA through SFO, or out/back from MUC through SFO. Connections from/to MAN look to work both ways.

The only downside to PDX is that it's an early flight out from FRA (09:55), meaning you'd need to overnight in FRA the night before.

Flights and timings FRA-PDX are:

7 June MAN-FRA LH4857 18:15/20:55 (C)
8 June FRA-PDX LH468 09:55/11:30 (C)
8 June PDX-YVR AC8124 15:00/16:12 (Y)

29 June YVR-PDX AC8121 08:00/09:15 (Y)
29 June PDX-FRA LH469 13:15/08:30 (C)
30 June FRA-MAN LH4852 12:00/12:40 (C)

Others may find something better, but that's not a bad start....

Thanks for this - the inbound looks interesting.

Can you tell me if availability is shown for ONE person on this routing for each of 26,27,28,29 & 30th departures YVR

LHR - ZUR - SIN - 2 x seats in First

Hi All

Could with access to more sophisticated systems than ANA(!) kindly check the availability of two seats in First on LHR to ZUR to SIN with LX:

Departing on any date between: 26 September to 5 October 2009; and

Returning around 14 days later (between 9 - 18 October 2009)

Many thanks!

According to Expert Flyer the only dates when two seats in First are available are:

ZRH-SIN : 26/09, 02/10, 03/10
SIN-ZRH : 12/10, 18/10

Have not checked LHR-ZRH since combining the two segments returned no availability.
