What site were you using that you can see those flights?

thanks

Yep TG is Thai Airways. ANA shows them as being available. Its a much better and shorter flight.

One from me as I've fought ANA and lost.

Requirements:
LHR-ORD (BHX-ORD ideally) Departing before 20th October (+/- 3 days).
ORD-LHR/BHX, departing after 24th October (again, +/- 3 days)

Any ideas or thoughts welcome. I can find the odd Y class seat, but was hoping for C class (would happily accept domestic Y)

Thanks

Out from LHR on LX on 18th, back on AC via YYZ on 26th.

You may also get back via YUL on 22nd or 23rd but ANA can't find a connection from Chicago.

Thanks CheeseToastie. I was hoping for something a bit more less time off inducing.

Looks like it'll have to be a revenue ticket in that case.

Thanks ^

A pretty random off the wall one but I'm looking for any one way redemptions in Business from Munich to Faro on either the 10th, 11th, 17th or 18th October. 2 people please.

I'd use ANA normally but they don't have Faro on their list!

Many Thanks!

No direct flights but loads of availability via LIS. Just enter the airport codes (MUC/FAO) on ANA - you don't need to use the drop-down boxes.

Hello Folks,

So ANA is now starting to hurt my head, can anybody see any availability on the following:

Buenos Aires - London
or
Montevideo - London

on any of the following dates: 15th/16th/17th/18th/19th of November 2011.

Many thanks in advance.

EDIT: Availability in C Class please.

Need to sit down and re look at which one is better for me KVS or Expert Flyer both in terms of ease of use ( looks like it will take me ages to learn the tricks!) and costing

In the meantime, can someone please check Business Class availability for the following

SIN-LHR on 20 or 21 or 22 July
LHR -SIN or preferably LHR-BKK overnight - SIN on 28 or 29 July

Thanks

Hi, i am looking for EDI/GLA to SFB (Sanford) first two weeks in july next year returning 3 weeks later.

I did call DC but they weren't much help. Bit of a language barrier

You'll struggle with that as no Star Alliance airlines fly to Sanford. It's only EU charter airlines and some more obscure US airlines. You should be able to find seats to Orlando International airport (MCO) though. Continental fly EDI-EWR-MCO, Lufthansa would offer EDI-FRA-MCO or Virgin fly direct GLA-MCO. Whether you'll find seats available on these is another question. If you choose Virgin, you can't book the journey as two one-ways and you can't use miles+cash.

Hope that helps.

Yes SFB is a non starter. From my very recent experience, and assuming you wish to travel in C or F with *A, your only real hope at that time of year will be LH. You would have to overnight in FRA or get to FRA via BRU or LHR on the day of your TATL flight, to catch LH464 to MCO.

Returning you can go MCO--FRA-EDI with a lengthy layover at FRA (the teatime flight), or via BRU or LHR. I've only just redeemed 4 C seats EDI-BRU-FRA-MCO for next June. In a few weeks time I'll be redeeming 4 seats on the inward sector. I'm considering MCO (or TPA)-EWR-FRA-EDI in order to catch the lunchtime flight from FRA-EDI.

VS is another possibility direct from GLA.

Whatever you do, do not use your miles for a Y redemption on *A metal - you will be giving away 45,000 miles for a base fare of around 100

LHR - LAX 23 November NZ001

Hi,
Can somebody check availability for me for two business class seats LHR-LAX 23/11/11 on NZ 001 - I'm seeing availability using ANA tool but ICC is telling me none is showing. Thanks. I'd love to be able to fly direct rather than the indirect routing on LH via FRA.
Thanks!

Nothing at all in business class on NZ001 on that date - either on ANA or on ExpertFlyer. Economy only.

Thanks. I saw 'RQ' on Ana tool, so maybe this means request only or some such thing. I'll keep on trying!

Availability in J for 3 or 4 pax

Anyone know which airlines release J class seats more than 2 at a time. In my experience, it includes:

BD (short-haul at least)
LH (selected dates and routes only long-haul, lots short-haul)
TK (long-haul)

TG is frustrating as they only release 2 at a time but am looking for a Thailand trip (EDI-BKK). I need 3 seats but can only get 2 so am having to route via IST with TK although able to use LH on the way out.

Any other experiences to share?
