Would this be a valid routing?
 
Before getting to the ICC I would like your opinions:

OW MNL-BKK with a stopover in SIN would that be a valid routing for Z7-Z1?

I am looking at:
  • OW Z1-Z8 LHR-HKG with a 3 day stopover in BKK in F
  • CX Renevue sector HKG-MNL in (Y) :eek:
  • OW Z7-Z1 MNL-LHR with a week stopover in SIN (F) (MNL-SIN SQ, SIN-BKK-LHR TG).

I calculated 93.750 miles plus GBP637.5 Cash ex tax?

I dont have any expertflyer account etc, how can I calculate the taxes for the reward sectors myself? The revenue ticket with CX one way is just as expensive as a return, any suggestions to avoid that?

And lastly, I always fly with TG but hear good stories on this forum about TK and LX. If someone has some time could you suggest a routing for me?

As others have mentioned, you dont have much in the way of LX awards, but given the following loads:
17th F7C9
18th F2C9
19th F4C9

I'd say you're in with a good chance of them coming wide open for awards in a week or twos time.

Anyone please?
I really would like to know if the requested Z7-Z1 routing would be valid.
If someone can calculate taxes or help me to figure out how?
And suggestions for LX/TK if this is better then TG F, and maybe avoid UK Tax.

Thanks,
Globalist

Hi Globalist,
I can't see anything wrong with that routing. I can't help with the taxes, except to point you to this thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-d...xes-chart.html
Alternatively you'd have to plug the route into ITA to get an idea.

How difficult is it to find F/J seats on the FRA-SIN route (SQ25/26) if you book a few months ahead and are very flexible with your dates, say if you said second half of august for instance? M&C option of course.

I take it you have to book a return at the same time?

Just check on the ANA tool by plugging in random dates and see what availbility comes up. One ways are perfectly fine.

Help with North American trip
 
Anyone know why I can't see see any availability in business with UA or CO for the start of 2011? I can see AC availability to various Canadian destinations using ANA but no J class flights to the States. Am I being unlucky or do they release them at a different time to AC?

Welcome to FT. Two-part answer:

1.) There's another thread here that might be a better home for this. Maybe some nice mod will move it. ;)

2.) Depending on exactly when you mean, it is indeed possible that there is zero availability on the routes you're looking at. CO is generally pretty stingy and for all carriers there are certain periods (e.g. New Year, end of the holiday period) when demand is high and available seats get snapped up quickly. Can you be more specific about where you want to go and when?

JohnMacD Mar 25, 2010 3:16 pm

Thanks - not a great start, posting my question in the wrong place. What I'm looking for is business flights in late Jan/early feb 2011. I tried LHR to various UA gateway airports and couldn't find any availability. I then tried AC and found availability to several Canadian airports (we want to ski N. America).
So, I was wondering if UA don't release their reward flights 330 days out the way that AC seem to do?
