No problem. However be warned that you are looking at flights at a peak period, so availability is likely to get more limited, rather than seats on the JFK services opening up.

I agree. I had quite a hard time getting seats on any the A333's to JFK recently and as RAPC points out your flight is at a very busy time.

Thanks, did you get on or use the Privatair in the end? Or neither :D

Not sure about stopover rule
 
I am currently thinking of this one-way redemption CPH-PEK-ICN (stopover for 7 months)-NRT in early Nov.
Would pune guys allow me to stay in ICN for "7 months"?

Can anyone check NRT-FRA/MUC on NH in C on September 9th, please? :)

Yes, anyone can. ;) But just this once: ANA's tool shows "WL" for all classes on both routes that day, even if only searching for one seat (you didn't tell us how many you'd like).

I don't have any ANA miles so I can't check the tool myself. I assume, realizing the tone you use, WL means no seat left?

WL means waitlist. So, correct, no seats at the moment.

You don't need miles in your ANA account to check these flights. ANA operated flights are available on the main menu when you log in.

You can also check Star Alliance rewards still, but you have to do an ANA search, then on the results page it will allow you to check for Star Alliance partners as a new option.

Nor do I.

You can check for ANA flights without any miles, as RAPC has pointed out. Checking for availability on other carriers is less straightforward, but there are workarounds -- the method RAPC describes and sbm12's GreaseMonkey script.

Looking for 2 seats in F or C flying SHA/PEK on 3 October.

Using KVS (and checking both ANA and Sabre) I can see 2 F seats on FM9101. ICC says it can't see any F or C availability on direct flights on that route.

There was a post last year saying that CA (and by extension FM?) availability is shown wrongly on most methods and recommending signing up to the CA FF program. I have tried that without success. Is there a more reliable method? Can anyone see other F or C seats on this route?

Does anyone know on ANA why I can see LHR-EWR availability on CO, but none coming back, so looking at JFK-FRA-LHR on LH, but the ICC are not seeing this?

The most likely explanation is probably the simple one: there isn't any. CO is not known for releasing stacks of award availability. What dates are you looking at?

What class of travel? If you're not already doing so, search leg by leg, i.e. look for NYC-FRA (LH or SQ), or NYC-MUC on LH, or ask someone to search ExpertFlyer for NYC-ZRH or GVA on LX. There are probably UA options as well. Once you've found your TATL, look for XXX-LON. When the time comes to book, talk the ICC through it segment by segment as well.

CO flights
 
Still waiting for some Herzt miles to credit to ANA, so in the meantime looking at other ways of seing things...

Can look for award flights on the CO website without any login required... is it likely that SaverPlus awards will be bookable through the ICC ? And is it possible to book the CO/VS codeshare flights with miles ?

granny mac will be very grateful for your help. :D
