Hi, I'm trying to make my first redemption (cash+miles) in economy:
3/3/2012 BFS-EWR-SFO CO095/CO1143 10/3/2012 SFO-EWR-BFS CO1136/CO94 Using ANA I think there is availability but ICC say only via LHR. Is this a valid route/is there really availability? Or should I call back and hope for a different agent? Thanks Woody |
LON-YVR 13-27Sep12 (ish)
Hi
Looking for help to find a business or first class routing for London to Vancouver in September 2012: Two adults, one infant (22 months) 269000 miles left, though could possible xfer in some from AmEx if needed BMI Gold (9 years... gutted;-) Earliest departure is Thu13Sep12 Latest arrival back is Sat29Sep12 Could possibly do SEAttle instead of Vancouver... Call centre just come with Air Canada Economy only... Can someone with access to other checking systems please take a look and see if they can find a routing? Many thanks David |
TK: LHR > IST (Longhaul C)
Is there still a longhaul C product on TK LHR > IST? If so, what is the plane type or times to search for? I have been trying to find the old thread on it with little luck.
Had an F flight booked on this route a few years ago although sadly had to cancel it, never making it to IST. Keen to try for it again before DC is to become what it is to become... |
I joined up to ANA to try and search myself rather than being a pest however I've drawn a blank and am having a real struggle with the ANA search so would appreciate any help.
I'm looking to use up DC miles for the following: Outbound - 14th or 15th September from either GLA or EDI to MKE or ORD or even MSP. Inbound - 16 days later so 30th Sept or 1st October from OMA to EDI (I'm fixed on those airports) What I would like to do is go Continental via Newark. I have enough miles to do business + cash which I calculate would need 75,000. I'd appreciate any help at all - I've now made 4 calls to DC. 3 people have told me I don't have enough miles and the 4th said immediately there was no availibility. Many thanks |
I've found two options for my trip to Santiago using ANA - one is FRA-BOG on LH in F (and then LAN to SCL, and possibly onwards to Punta Arenas, using AA miles), and the other CDG-GRU-SCL on TAM in C.
What is LH's product on this route? Is it worth paying the extra miles (2.5x plus extra 10,000 as I understand from the award chart)? Is TAM really that bad in C? |

nothing showing on the CO flights for those dates in C. I am wondering re the 'not enough miles' comment. If you had domestic connections, many of these are only available in Y or F and if you go for F they charge the whole trip as F (for which you would not have enough miles) so unless your connections actually show C class you may need to sit down the back to avoid this

Alternatively, you could buy a seat on 9/14 (FR) BD1627 Edinburgh Brussels 06:25 09:05 ER4 as there's no award seats available. You woul dassume the risk of the missing connection in BRU. or 9/14 (FR) BD1631 Edinburgh Brussels 16:15 18:55 ER4 2 Y seats, or else buy them and save APD. 9/15 (SA) SN501 Brussels New York(JFK) 10:20 12:35 333 2 C seats 9/15 (SA) UA687 New York(LGA) Chicago(ORD) 16:00 17:33 319 2 Y seats.

Hey folks:
First time booking an award BMI flight on AC . First question is if you book a one way award flight can you have a stopover or is it just RT awards? If you book two ones ways = two stopovers? Want to do the following: LAX- Toronto(stopover) - Prince Edward Island Prince Edward Island - YUL (stopover)- YYC Possible? Also I have found availability on ANA so do I just feed the ICC the flights? |

We can't really check the maths properly unless you tell us how many seats you want. :)
sorry - that's a crucial bit of info - yes it is 2. Tough one. Business seats are thin on the ground both transatlantic and also domestic USA.

LX awards
Hi All
I see I7 for a ZRH - LAX flight (in Sabre). Seems unusual to see 7 award invent seats avail. ANA shows zero and BMI call centre say zero also. I am aware LH/ LX do award seat blocking but has anyone had luck getting BMI to confirm inventory in this situation? Recently had a similar thing with NZ , BMI said zero I could see in sabre a few seats and I advised the ICC agent to "sell" the seats even though they couldn't see it and voila I got my booking as I expected. |
Hola amigos!
Totally off-topic here, I know. Posted here because the bmi FTers are the most helpful :) Please can someone with KVS search for the following for me on Aero Mexico (AM)? I have some LyingPoo/FeelingBlue miles to burn :) 5th, 6th or 7th April: OAX-MEX-MID Y or J 2 people |
link to post about app to do the ANA search
I spotted this post on the Star Alliance forum.... thought it might be of interest here, and at first glance it seems great! It bypasses the need to twiddle with a dummy journey on ANA to reach the 'other *A carrier' option.

SA7700 JNB to SYD
Can anyone please advise me on if and how to use miles for a redemption ticket on South African Airways from Johannesburg to Sydney on SA7700 which is a code share with Qantas in December. I can see that I can redeem voyager miles (SAA loyalty programme) for this flight but I can see any availability on ANA and not even sure if you can redeem diamond club miles for a codeshare flight? Any help will be much appreciated.
