I want to return from Hong Kong to Manchester on Turkish Airlines with a stop over in Istanbul for a couple of nights. Three times in 20 minutes I enquired and three times I was told there was no availability on this route in any class, but I could go via Christchurch, Auckland, and then Singapore to Istanbul and Manchester!

ANA and the Aeroplan websites were clearly stating that there were seats in all classes for the two passengers.

I tried again for the fourth time after an hour had passed by, and, with a different booking agent got the whole thing sorted as originally requested with no hitch at all.

The lesson is: keep calling!

HKG-CHC-AKL-SIN-IST-MAN (that was seriously suggested)? Why woud they route you all the way to New Zealand and then back north again? That's crazy!
Although if they offered that to me I would have taken it for the extra destinations.

If I had the time, I would have taken up the offer, but what a stupid computer system it must be if it throws up that sort of routing.

Incidentally, I also enquired if DC points could be used for Circle Asia passes and was told that the agent had never heard of this type of ticket. Has anyone ever tried this?

That's quite a cracking routing though! I wonder what the agent had been drinking the night before.

I must be doing something wrong, i have kvs. SO I am searching for:

DUB-???-MCO

DUB-ZUR-JFK-MCO
DUB-FRA-MCO
DUB-PHL/CLT-MCO

Almost every day in September and even into October and nothing! Am I doing something wrong, is the KVS on the fritz? Is there zero availability in September?

BA6501 Jun 25, 2011 1:13 am

Which class? Preferred date of travel? Of return?

I found this simple routing on first try...

I would say lucky you because remember NO STOPOVERS ALLOWED IN Zone1 or Zone2! ;)

Has anyone successfully managed to get 4 seats on the LAX-BKK TG flight?

2 seats are available on the date that I want, was wondering if the grab 2 and 2 more open up tactic will work on this flight?

What are my other options for 4 seats on this route?

FlyerTalker7654 Jun 29, 2011 1:37 pm

If anyone gets a spare minute could you check Sat 30th July for 1 x C class Europe to NYC....have tried everything and cant seem to see anything open for this day...also checked Sun 31st and again nothing.
