Hi there,
I'm looking for some help please. I would like two tickets on a valid routing LHR-MLE, in business class, to be in MLE for four or five nights (more is OK) some time between 22/08-02/09. I've searched on ANA for the obvious route via SIN, but it seems that SIN-MLE is just not available - in fact it looks like SIN-MLE is not available any time until the end of the year! So either the ANA tool is missing something or I need some other route. Happy to stop over a night or two in interesting places on the way, as long as we get to MLE for the four or five nights. Am talking explicitly about a diamond club cash+miles booking in business, so no suggestions that I magic up some BA miles and use those please ;-). I would be overjoyed to hear your suggestions!
Cheers,
-simon

A word of advice.
F to the US is as rare as hens teeth, and you're trying to redeem in the peak summer period.
LX will release F seats to DC about 2 days before departure and you'll be unable to book or change an existing booking to snap them up.
You will need a lot of patience to find something I reckon, and you might turn something up much closer to your intended date of departure.

Often that has been the only way to get more than seat on the same flight

It seems First Class seats are only released few days before the flight , so the best to do, IMO, is to take two seats in Business and then, if First class seats open, to change the award.

Yes, but be warned that availability to DC is opening up about 2 days before departure which according to current DC rules is too late for you to make the change.
