newbie question - help with first redemption!

Hi guys I am wanting to try and book my first redemption holiday. Essentially i am wishing to travel from a northern UK airport (im in newcastle but flexible where i go from). I am wanting to travel to Sydney and Melbourne and if possible have a stop in any of SIN/KUL/BKK going and coming. So ideally something like:
MAN-SIN (stop)-SYD. then MEL-KUL(stop)-MAN but am very flexible.
my travel dates are 28/5/11 depart and return 12/6/11. can anyone help with this. I called the ICC and they are saying that there is nothing available at all in those dates and generally weren't very helpful!
I am wanting to travel business and will need 2 seats.
Many thanks

It really is quite simple once you get the hang of using the ANA availability tool so I suggest you start reading up on how to use that first. Finding routings using the Star Alliance timetable will also give you some ideas of other route options available to you.
You say you are pretty flexible with the routing but if you can also be flexible with your travel dates it will also make a big difference. The ICC were probably correct with their reply if you asked for a MAN-SIN-SYD on a certain date.
