Same applies to the connecting flight to the transatlantic gateway (EWR or IAD, I guess) but C is of course available from there.

SAN-ORF - there's 2xY seats on 15 Sep on UA16/UA7258 via ORD
ditto UA554/7067 via IAD.

Nothing on CO that I can see.

For your onward flight I can't see any availability in C for 26/27 Sep. There's two seats in Y UA7068/922 via IAD on 26th and all manner of Y options (CO and UA) on 27th. On 28th there's one seat on UA948 IAD-LHR and one in F on UA918 IAD-LHR. There's at least two seats in economy for the former and one in F for the latter for the connection from ORF.


Hope this helps. A bit...

THanks for checking...pretty much same as what I got

Do you think its worth waiting out to see if more seats open up? Maybe Air Canada or Swiss might release some seats?

Please help me try and find some tickets to New York for my parents to attend a wedding. Unfortunately the wedding is on Sunday the 3rd July so I assume availability may be scarce that weekend

Looking to depart UK the week of the 26th June (preferably Wed/Thu).
Looking to depart NY on Monday/Tuesday 4th/5th July.

I've got 150k miles. I don't really have a use for the miles anymore so I am willing to use them up for the highest class available.

I can't seem to find anything on LX via ZRH as LX F was my preference for them.

Continental - really confused. ANA shows nothing. Continental's own web site shows Reward availabilty most days whether it's via MAN or LHR. Is this reliable or can we not use BMI miles against CO's own Reward program availability?

Looking for advice.

Outbound
-----------

Wed June 29th - 2 x Seats in Continental economy LHR-EWR

Thu June 30th - 2 x Seats in Lufthansa First LHR-MUC-JFK

Inbound
---------

Mon July 4th - 2 x Seats in Continental/Air Canada economy EWR-LHR with a full 23 hours in St. John's (whereever that is ).

Rather more appealing is:

Mon July 4th or Tue July 5th - 2 x Seats in Lufthansa First JFK-MUC-LHR

Tue July 5th - 2 x Seats in US/Lufthansa First (or economy) LGA-BOS-FRA-LHR


Problem is that with only(!) 150k miles and no Cash+Miles on LH First (plus 10k surcharge) it would have to be First one way and economy the other... Edited to add: (mmm... might have to buy some miles too...) Edited again to add: Oops... two people... LH First is a non-starter... sorry...

need help :(

Hi All,

I want to make my first ever booking using diamond club miles but I am having massive difficulty finding return flights for my planned trip, using ANA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basically I am looking to book two seperate flights in C, both from California to London, UK, one on April 24th or preferably the 25th, and the other on April 30th or ideally May 1st. One is for me and the opther for my partner who is flying back a week earlier.

As for the airport in California to fly from, I am completely flexible, anywhere from San Diego to Burbank to Sacramento, and even Las Vegas would be fine. I dont mind how many connections it takes as long as the price isnt too high in taxes and fees.

I have found a fair number of flights home from Chicago and New York, but am finding it completely impossible to get a connecting flight from West Coast to East.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

p.s. I do realise this is an increidlby busytime at short notice but I am hoping something can be done.

Please can you advise how far in advance TATL flights with CO come up? I am trying to book a routing LHR- SJO am happy for any suggestions. the only availability I can see on ANA tool is via Charlotte with overnight e/w there which is not ideal as I would rather fly same day via IAH or EWR on CO.
Dates are flexible in early January 2012 flying out 2-6 Jan returning 16-20 Jan.
I'd be grateful if someone could check this out for me.
thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to add I'm looking for 2 seats in C (for sure for TATL), but the shorter leg to SJO can be in Y.

Fine on the way out, nothing on that flight back. The two earlier flights on the 6th are available though, as is the first flight back on the 7th.

Me and my wife are trying to get back from Europe to Vancouver on either June 17 or 18 in business class.

I see some award availability from FRA to New York, but it just makes the journey home that much longer and more difficult. If anyone has some suggestions for Europe to NA flights closer to arriving in the midwest or west coast on any airline it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks RAPC!

Was looking to travel with somebody who is on a paid ticket on those flights, so the others would be less than ideal.

Although the way around it may be to take the sleasyjet flight on the return leg which leaves just before LH3438 and probably costs less than the airport tax on the LH redemption would.
