Here is the issue, I need this for a BMI redemption! Not a OP redemption since I don't have enough OP Miles. There is a suddle but important difference as it related to travel in US domestic F cabins.

Thanks for confirming! This is what I found as well. Kind of crazy if you ask me. Now I have to hope they are opening up more inventory in the coming months.

I am guessing FRA-NRT-SFO is not a valid routing

I am trying to find availability for LHR-EWR on 15/12 and found 2 x business class, on a UA direct flight, but for the return on 18/12, I have been offered CO to GVA on 18/12, then a 3 hour wait before GVA to LHR.

Last night when I checked ANA, I found return flights in F on LH to FRA, then business to LHR, which is far more preferable (and I have the miles), but I was told by the CC that no redemptions are currently available in F. Should I call again to speak with a different agent?

Sometime LH redemptions are only available to M&M members.

That's me, but I don't have any of their miles. I'll try again later.

Unfortunately that doesn't help me if I am stuck in DEN and can't get to SAN! There is also avail. into IAH and SEA but again no connections into SAN.

no coach avail. either! Trust me, I looked into coach travel for short domestic hops. I have decided to wait this out or use other types of miles ... still deciding.

Are there any *A carriers to use US-BKK to minimize YQs?
