And you can still view award availability within 7 days on ANA too.

Really lost
I am trying to get award HKG-ZRH on LX F for March 7 or 8. EF shows 2 seats on both dates. ANA shows one seat on March 7. I am trying to get that seat. But I have called DC three times in the past week, and the answer is always that they do not see it available in their system.
Is there any hope?

I'm strugling here guys, time to hold up my hands and ask for help.
I'm looking to go somewhere early august. For approx 10-11 nights. The g/f doesn't like too many aircraft changes.
I've been looking to ultimately get from MAN-SJD and back. Would prefer however to leave from outside of the UK to avoid high APD.
I've hunted, through FRA, ZRH etc, etc and come up with very little, i've manage this measly amount.
SJD-EWR 15Aug and EWR-MAN 16Aug
I'm at a loss, any help appreciated. I'm even thinking of giving up on the US and heading east instead.

Try closer to home for your departure point and you can get a bit closer to SJD on your first leg. You'll also find it cheaper to buy a one-way flight if you are coming back to MAN. Remember US, UA, 9W and AC don't only fly to *A hubs.

Hi guys, I would really appreciate any help if possible to see if there is availability. I am looking to do FRA-ICN-HKG-ICN-FRA out on 4th Feb '11 and back on 8th Feb '11 with OZ in First for one pax. I am willing to look at alternative dates after those if necessary, basically the criteria is out on a Friday and back on the following Tuesday. Any assistance in checking availability is greatly appreciated. Regards, Andy

There are various Business options outward that involve either a connection via MUC or via LHR. You might think MUC is more obvious except there is no direct Business redemption from FRA. LHR is fewer flights but its on Virgin so lots of miles. If you don't mind an extra hop to DUS, HAJ etc. in order to do Business or are prepared to do FRA-MUC in Economy then MUC is best.
Coming back there is a direct flight to FRA in First but as its LH its extra miles (and in my view not worth it). There are also a couple of Business options via ZRH on LX.

Nothing available on OZ. Nothing obvious at all outward in First on a simple search.

I'm trying to look for TG flights in early Nov 2011 (NRT-BKK-SIN) but looks like TG award inventory not loaded yet as I can only pull up TG flights in ANA till Oct 28 or 29.
Anyone has similar experience or is it just me? Will try Awardnexus next. Cheers

I had that once before. Call DC as they can see the award availability of TG that ANA can't for dates so far out.

It's probably not the easiest time of year to find awards to Florida's holiday capital. Maybe look at getting to MIA? A one-way Y ticket from MIA to MCO will set you back around 120 USD and there is plenty of availability on LX64 from ZRH-MIA on 19 or 23 September (and enough options to get you from LON to ZRH).
