Would it be stupid of me to even think about requesting the following DC redemption for 50k return (part cash part miles) in F?
Overall:
LIS to MLE return (Z2 to Z10)
Out: LIS -(LX C Class) - ZRH - (LX F Class) - PVG - (SQ F Class) - SIN - (SQ C Class) - MLE
Back: MLE - (SQ C Class) - SIN - (SQ/TG C Class) - BKK - (TG F Class) - LHR - (TP C Class) - LIS
Not a problem if they insist BKK-LIS route needs to go via a city in Z2 but I just don't want to embarrass myself by asking 4 sectors for each one-way and protentially being declined for going via PVG (instead of BKK)... I just want to try SQ's F class in the trip even though it's on an old 772!

No problem heading back via LHR on the way back though.

Hi,
Could someone please check availability for ZRH - JNB on the following dates:
16/07/2010
17/07/2010
Thanks
Edit: The journey is starting in LHR on a J ticket to ZRH, if I change this segment to Y do I avoid the UK APD for business class?

Help planning trip to usa
I would like to know if there's any chance of booking 2 x business redemptions to anywhere in the US/Canada going out on 17th December and coming back on 20th December? (for two)
Leaving from anywhere in England, but preferably London or south west?
I know it's short notice and I've looked on ANA for the obvious suspects in US, but perhaps someone knows of unpopular / more available routes?
Thanks

I called 3x times today and neither of the agents could see the NZ availability (both LAX-AKL and SFO-AKL) on a string of days in a row where KVS/ANA showed lots. I am pretty sure that KVS is correct, because the agents cannot find any NZ availability for months, so I think the BMI systems are just not working with NZ right now. I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem? I really need to book the award tix on Monday when I book my CPSTAR2...

Happy to double check on ANA if you want to share dates here or via PM.

Agreed, but...
I do understand, I think the point is I really don't care where I go, and wondered if anyone knew of routes most likely to be available at this late notice, then I can do the searching!
