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?

Get this, I rang up ICC to book BRU-EWR in C class for next weekend, the flight on the Sunday, they told me that they had 9 seats open!!! 9!! i almost fell off the seat when she told me that!!!

Also, getting to BKK, have you tried Swiss.....I remember a year or so ago when checking that, Swiss had 6 seats open from Zurich!

I need some help as I have never booked an awward flight with BMI.
I would like to go from HAM or LHR to YVR.
Earliest date I could go is 01. Mai 2012 return one year thereafter, so return date could be within 6 weeks from departure which I would change very 3 month or so.
I have enough miles to fly biz with the miles+cash option
Is this possible? Any thoughts?
Help very much appreciated!!!

Is it possible to check availability to NCE on 27/08 - 03/08 on BD from LHR? Online tool doesn't work?

Edit: EF not showing any availability either -- best to phone?

Just phoned, no availability & also for several other dates I checked, although pricing out BD flights now it seems like it would be better to save my miles.

Don't book a return - changes cannot be made after the outbound travel so best to book the one-way and can worry about the way back nearer the time.
(If you are keen to get the return booked, again book it as a one-way but you will be paying £20 every time you change the date)

Due to the visa I will have, I need a valid return ticket. so, one-way is a no go.

Also, when looking via the Ana tool, do I have to look for bmi flights, there are none within those months mentioned before!, or is it sufficient to look for Air Canada flights with bmi codshare?

In that case book as 2 one way tickets and pay the fee to change the second "return" one. You can use any star alliance carrier, check staralliance.com for who operates the routes. Any flights shown up on ANA should be bookable, provided the call centre can also see that availability.

You cannot use codeshares for award purposes.

I have lost my ANA number so could someone please check availability for me for one economy seat ICN>PEK 11 Sept? ICC guy says nothing until evening, but I'm looking for after midday? Cheers.

The 13:05 and 15:15 Air China flights from ICN are showing as available in economy and business class.

Looking for 2 C class seats either FRA or MUC to PVG on August 28th after 6pm. Currently only see Y on LH726. Any chance of C opening up within next few weeks on any of the FRA or MUC flights?
