Welcome to Flyertalk leebedford

The best thing to do is to read the through the following Read This First guide:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-d...s-lounges.html

Then have a look specifically at this thread which will show you to search for availability:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-d...sterclass.html

There is a lot to read up on, but it is well worth 20 minutes of your time on the relevant parts.

Finally, if you have any specific questions about availability on flights not covered by the ANA tool (such as Swiss) then this thread is worth looking at and posting a question on:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-d...ilability.html

Hope that all helps.

Plenty of seats in I on LX395/26SEP, but nothing at all in any class on LX138/26SEP.

Checked a week either side for the ZRH-HKG leg, but found nothing in any class at all. LX have Y-class seats open on 22SEP...

For example, reward availability exists on MUC-SIN on LH in F, or ZRH-BKK in J on TG.
Thanks - could someone check LX in either F or J for ZRH-BKK on 31/03 or 01/04.

Vancouver - suggested routes?

Hi all,

My 78-year-old mum wants to go to Victoria, on Vancouver Island, in September from Glasgow to see an old school friend.

For her age, I think she should travel business/first to have a less stressful journey.

She also fancies a stopover in Toronto on the way out or back for a day or two to see another pal there.

Using ANA, I can find an outbound on Air Canada on the 8th Sept from LHR to Toronto and then on to Victoria on the 11th in the evening at 20:40.

But I can't find anything on the way back, even via Seattle.

Anyone got any ideas of other routings?

Looking at a trip length of about 14 days.

Thanks in advance.

Hello hello,

Using the ANA tool I can't see anything, although there is Lon to IAD on the 28th at 12 noon and 16:20 in F.

Strangely, it didn't show up under GLA to IAD, but did under EDI to IAD, although no BMI avail to LHR.
