Please could someone post the fare-paying availability for NZ287 AKL-PEK Dec31. Not looking for award availability - instead trying to figure the chances of a second award J seat opening up, by looking at how busy the flight is.

Thanks

I hope someone could help me with a redemption for 4 people to Florida. I have found some options through FRA & JFK (with a 3 night) stopover, but looking to see if there is anything I am missing.

Maybe anything on these route options that doesn't show in ANA

DUB - FRA / ZRH - MCO / MIA / TPA

or something else??

Looking at flying between 3rd & 8th July from Dublin.

Thanks

There is no YQ on TAM ex Argentina (and ex Brazil, and possibly all S.American countries).

DUB-LHR-EWR on the 4th, then same-day connections to TPA, MIA, PBI or FLL.

There's also availability BFS-EWR which might work for you now APD from NI has been cut.

Thanks. Any idea if C4 etc means 4, or at least 4? i.e. do they ever show ore than 4 in this class?

CheeseToastie Oct 10, 2011 5:43 am

They only ever seem to show a max of 4 in CDZ and 7 in the rest. So J7 means at least 7 seats up front, but it looks likely it's pretty empty.

I wonder whether it's uniquely TAM ex EZE as Lufty certainly welly up the YQ as ever.

Found a LH flight from mco to fra and then onto del. Individually they are available but DC can't see it. Is this a case of married segments? I didn't know it was for international flights too?

First time I am posting in this thread, but I need info on a LX flight which I cannot check on ANA. The flight is LX139 HKG-ZRH connecting to LX400 ZRH-DUB, leaving Hong Kong just before midnight on 4 November. Any availability for a business award, 1 pax?

raikje Oct 13, 2011 8:28 am

You can check LX on ANA these days. But no, there is no availability in any class on LX HKG-ZRH on that day. ZRH-DUB is available in C and Y, for what it's worth.

Worth keeping an eye out, LX are releasing inventory to non-M&M awards pretty late on these days.

Why can't you check on ANA? Am I missing something?

When I checked ANA, it shows LX 139 HKG - ZRH 04/11 but no availability in any class at the present time.

LX 400 on 05/11 ZRH - DUB is showing availability of at least 1 seat in business class.

I suspect you might be out of luck on LX 139. LX do tend to release seats nearer the date of departure on some routes, so it might be worth checking back regularly - especially as you're only after one seat.

It might be worth a call to ICC since you know the specific flights you're after. There's a (very remote) chance they could see availability not showing on ANA.

Thanks for the swift response, and sorry, I just presumed that awards with LX were still not ANA, great!

Sorry: nothing in C, nothing in F (but lots in Y).

EDIT: I wasn't very fast with that. To add value: there's F availability three days in a row beginning this weekend (but still nothing in C). If you have sufficient flexibility there's every chance of something being available nearer the time -- but no guarantees, of course.
