Two F seats on LX41 to ZRH (shouldn't be hard to find an onward connection).
I didn't check any other airlines or routes -- you might well find something on LH, or alternatively on AC/CO/UA/US with a connection before crossing the Atlantic. Good luck!
raikje is right about it being too late to book with BD. I'm not sure about changing an existing, uncommenced reservation.

Had another look through some of the hubs, but there is nothing - Y from IAH, but no way to get there, and a 6am flight to JFK with no way back out as about all I could find!

Just to be clear, so that people don't offer options worse than what you've already got booked, what are you trying to replace? Flights on a different day, flights in coach, flights requiring a silly connection...?

Manchester to Miami 15th Aug
Please ignore if I am on the wrong plce but...
Been calling Diamond Club to try and book Man - Miami in business class for 2 leaving 15th Aug 2012...i really want to go with US Air or Continental. The answer is nothing is showing (although they did mention a flight from Lisbon with TAP which then disappeared)
Question is am I too early? Thought it was 11 months prior
Should I keep trying at different times during the same day? ie might seats become available during the day?
We would be coming back from Orlando on 1st Sept so guess I would have to make a seperate booking.
Again apologies if am on wrong thread or asking questions I could get elsewhere and thanks for any help

The new Envoy in US is quite good. And the YQ (fuel surcharge) is zero. ^
The new Business First on CO is better, but the YQ is high enough in comparison.
Now, if it were economy (and no one redeems in economy, now do they?
) CO would be the only choice for the sane traveller.

I do have another question as well, if we booked a ticket 10 months in advance or whatever, and then our plans changed, would we be able to cancel the flight and get it refunded etc?

If you do find availability on CO's website, it won't hurt to check ANA too, although this might be unnecessary. Just give ICC a call and try and book the flights! Remember to note down flight numbers, etc. so you can walk through each sector with your ICC rep. Good luck ^

Hi,
Looking to try and get 3 seats from MAN to MCO (either direct using VS or indirect CO/US) or MAN to TPA out on 02/08/11 returning 18/08/11. I've been checking for availability for up to a month beforehand using the ANA, Aeroplan and CO tools but cannot find any availability across the month, although some availability appears to be available if travelling from LHR/LGW.
Just wondering if I am a little too early in expecting to find some flights from MAN?
Many thanks.
