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.

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?

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?

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.
