Hong Kong

Can someone please check availability for UK to Hong Kong in mid May?
Want to spend 4-5 days there.
What would be the miles and tax for return in business class?
Looking for two seats.
Thanks

By way of general remark, availability with NZ direct to HGK is scarce so be open minded to a connection/stopover elsewhere. These links will get you started in finding the answers you need:

You'll get availability on TG via BKK no problem. Not seeing anyting on NZ38 but that may open up closer to the time.

Please can anyone check availability on CA between PEK and SVO on 12th June (or 11th and 13th if no availability on the 12th) in First or Business.

Thank you in advance.

UK to Australia

Hi folks,

Newbie here! Struggling to figure out ANA so can any kind souls help me out please?

Looking to find out how many miles (plus cash) I will need for a flight from Edinburgh/London to Australia (ideally Sydney).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Ross

You need to multiply these by 1.5 if you want to go in business class. You also have to pay taxes on top of these costs.

Best for you always to get this off the website as very occasionally values can change.

Struggling with this one, looking for Europe (So FRA, CDG, LHR, as i can see) to ICN. 26/12/12 (+4) ANA shows a dash for C, as if it doesn't exist...

I'm then looking for ICN-SYD same(ish) dates, but shhh don't tell everyone.

(Maybe a PM?)

I haven't got KVS and expertflyer won't do OZ.

Europe-nairobi april

Looking at spending 2 days In nairobi from 10-12 april. At the moment nothing really to be found around these days. When might lh, zh and Brussels airlines sn? Rethink if they should offer a seat or two more in business class.
