Unfortunately I am now committed in Melbourne until morning of Feb 16th so would be unable to make it up to BKK to take the flight on the 15th! Hopefully something might come up a few days later.
Thank you for your help.

Thx, I'll check it out with ICC this morning. However, my ultimate destination is GLA or EDI so I might be better to use LH via SEA and FRA which is available.

Bit of a long winded one, but I am trying to learn the system for myself.
Dep: DUB/LGW/LHR/FRA
Arr: MCO
Class: C
Not too concerned about dates, just trying to find availability, what airlines and costings.
Couple of other questions, is this using the KVStool? Is this the miles and cash way? Is this only using the ANA FFP, on Star Alliance or can I add VS?
Cheers,

For routings and costings use ITA matrix.itasoftware.com you can create an account for free
For availability the Sticky is your friend
Miles and cash is always possible with the exception of First Class on Lufthansa which probably isn't worth the premuim premuim anyway IMHO

Thanks, but I've been a Diamond Club member for 18 years, so I had more than enough knowledge about how it all worked long before I found flyertalk; and if my pointing you in the direction of the threads mostly likely to prove that getting seats on a particular route isn't an "urban myth" somehow upset you? Don't worry, I won't do it again.

One C seat on LHR-YYZ is not that difficult if done reasonably far ahead in my experience, and if not concerned particularly about which flight. Coming back the day flight tends to be available last.
Getting 2 C seats though is much more difficult - flights via YOW, YUL or YHZ are alternatives worth checking for this though. Booked 2 C seats YYZ-YOW-LHR recently for mid-June.

Obviously, though, what was true for a weekday in mid-January cannot be assumed to apply to peak travel periods.

Looking for 2 F or C seats on all longhaul flights, but Y is fine on the connections to LHR:
