friends,
can I ask your help for alternatives as I am having no luck on the ANA tool
I need to get from Singapore to Amsterdam with my better half.
Preferably in C or F. I do see the occasional Y option via Munich or Frankfurt.
Friday October 21st, departing after 8pm in SIN.
Returning on Saturday October 29th (landing on the Sunday at the latest).

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get the ICC to book this for me, even though I can 'see' availability in KVS, EF and ANA, are bmi blocking this?

BMI have since said they have a known issue with CO not showing them any redemption seats in J/F, on any of their flights. Apparently it usually shows something like I0 X9 but the systems are only returning X9, as though 'I' class isn't even offered on that flight.
Here's hoping it's a temporary glitch in the matrix!

Hi
I'm hoping someone can help me
I'm finally trying to redeem some of my DC miles for a trip to Thailand for Christmas
Ideally I'd like to head out on the 16/17Dec in Business. However there's no availability (out of MAN which is my preferred location) or any other UK airport - or through any main SE gateways HKG, SIN)
I've played around with the ANA tool for a while (thanks for the great sticky) and have come up with the following route
MAN - FRA - NRT - BKK
MCT at NRT seems fine (arrive 08.35 depart 10.45)
However would this be an allowable route from MAN to BKK..??
If anyone has any better ideas I'd be grateful!
Thanks
Dan

Sorry
Just twigged I may be able to get from MXP to BKK on the 17th
Would then just need to pick up a cheap flight from MAN to MXP
Think it's ok to book to one ways on redemptions (MXP to BKK and BKK to MAN)?
Think the cost would be 40000miles x 2 = 80000 (plus taxes)..?
Sorry for the thick questions!

Cost would be 120k for business (plus tax), or 60k + 405 + tax. That route is good because you miss the 150 APD. There is also the more complex MAN-MUC-ATH-BKK available in business, but then it's an extra stop, plus the extra 150. The only benefit is you're straight through on one ticket.

Raikje - thanks - sorry you're quite right - missed the 1.5 business scale up factor from my calcs
Thanks for the other option via MUC/ATH
Looks like I can get a BA/Flybe codeshare for ~ 85 from MAN to MXP which would be cheaper than the 150 APD!
So that could be my best option (assuming MXP isn;t snowbound in Dec....)
