Called, got a helpful girl, she pulled up the reservation, and searched, but could not find any flights... I wish ANA was up so I could check myself....

Are you using expert flyer? Looking for anything in C on the 8th, 9th or 10th from NYC to LHR... would even do UA :-?(

ANA is working for me right now.

Have looked at everything from EWR & JFK, to LHR, GLA, MAN and nada.

OK, so I checked the ANA forum, I had to update my address, and I could see flights again. Found a LH flight EWR-DUS-LHR leaving on Friday the 8th... not ideal.. but all I could get in C at late notice... change fee was GBP20 no mention of 7 days etc... updated on Check my Trip.. now I need to hope it tickets in time....

You are all set. In my experience it usually tickets within a few hours or else you can call them and they will do it while you wait online.

I just booked a similar trip ZRH-MLE a few days ago.


OS virtually never releases reward seats on the VIE-MLE route. I have tried for two years, no luck. I booked ZRH-MUC-SIN-MLE-MUC-ZRH on LH in F and SQ in C. There was plenty of availability on SQ on most of the days that I checked. SQ is flying the 772 in a regional configuration with old, not so great seats. I would not have cared if I had to sit in Y for the short hop from SIN to MLE.

I checked availability using the ANA tool btw.

link to ANA tool https://cam.ana.co.jp/psz/us/amc_us.jsp?index=109

Thanks for the info. As there is plenty of C availability for ZRH-SIN in C my issue is to find 2 C seats SIN - MLE..
I have tried to use ANA, but I was NEVER been able to find availability for 2 C seats SIN-MLE !
1 seat is no problem, but 2 seats - just no way.
Am I doing something wrong - how did you found availability ?Or was it for 1 seat only ?
Thanks !

To make things more extreme, would one-way DLA-ZRH-BKK-SIN-MLE in F (last sector in C of course) for 25k+cash be allowed?? That's an extra mid-haul sector in LX A330 F.

Does anyone know if one can transit without going through customs (and without using bribe!) at DLA... getting their visa + yellow fever jab is quite expensive and not sure if it's safe to do a side trip there...

This is clearly not going to be possible. You are flying more than double the direct distance and 50% more than DLA-ZRH-MLE, which is your best *A option. If you are not looking for BD status miles try using Qatar via DOH, which earns mileage.

huh? I didn't know I can redeem premium classes (or even economy) on ZRH-MLE operated by Edelweiss metal. Is this really the case?

Well my understanding was you can only make changes up to 7 days before travel commences? From website T&Cs:

"Changes are not permitted within seven days prior to outbound travel or after travel has commenced."

:) tht ...

New ticket number on CMT this AM in NZ... ended up getting JFK-DUS-LHR on LH.. not ideal, but wont complain given the circumstances...

I was wondering if its easy to change the last segment of a flight after its been ticketed? I was thinking about booking LHR-NYC-LAX but might wanna change this to LAS closer to the flight.

Since I will be stopping over in NYC it will mean just changing the last flight from NYC to LAS. Is this a simple change or will it require a cancellation and a new ticket?

Book, NYC-LAX-LAS, then you can go to LAX, and miss the final segment assuming you are on a OW ticket, if you decide to go to LAS change to a direct. You can make changes, but not to the final destination...

You sure? I thought you could change the final segment as long as it was in the same zone?

Does anybody know, whether it's possible to redeem miles on the UA-flight between BRU and LHR (UA 929)?

And what about the additional taxes and fees? Are they equal to a normal BD-flight (booking engine says € 25.21)?

Thanks in advance! ;)
