If you check the redemption values ex CAI and ex UK, you'll see my point. But clearly not possible.

I am looking for 2 C seats ex-JFK/NYC to Europe first week of June. So far I have been playing with ANA tool, but then I read something about BD having access to SQ seats in C now (SQ25 JFK-FRA), so I spent the evening fiddling with Awardnexus as ANA does not show SQ 388/77W premium seats. I seem to find nothing at all for SQ25, is it so that they are not displaying even if available? Is there any other free tool I can use to check?

To answer my own question, loads of SQ C availbility from JFK to FRA in June. Nothing showing in ANA of course, but not even in Awardnexus. So I sued the ICC to check availbility, a trying experience but it worked. Result!

Trying to find tix for NYC-HNL for June 14th and back June 17th. ANA tool is showing no availability at all but comes in form of error message.
Am I doing something wrong? Would someone mind just checking? THX

C or Y? EWR-HNL non stop is not avail. either way, but some connections might be bookable.

Prefer C but Y is ok as well depending on mileage required. ANA not even showing connections. No idea why not

You have to search segment by segment ... and it's a pain!

CO 1517 to SNA in Y and CO 1599 into HNL in C

CO 1589 to SNA in Y and CO 1706 to EWR in Y

not pretty for sure. Other days have much better avail. Might be worth checking other routings and CO/UA combos as well.

ANA doesn't understand 'NYC'. Use 'EWR' or 'JFK' instead.

Perhaps try searching by sectors in ANA. There is availability in business LAX-HNL on your dates, so you just need to find a way to get yourself to LAX and then book by sectors when calling the ICC.
