CX is not available on EF?
 
Just checking.

CX is not available on EF?

That means CX ORD/HKG/BKK can't be checked for Z tickets on EF?

It's not clear why you think CX is not on EF. It is. I can see all my CX segments. Do you mean to say: just for awards and upgrades? In this case, no those are not accessible AFAIK.

OK. If looking for an AAward, you should select AA in the Airline Search window.

I'm trying to find availability on CX from ORD to HKG to BKK using AAward Z and you only get AA equipment to HKG choices.

I'm looking for CX to HKG.

For what date?

I used KVS to book my trip ORD-HKG-SIN on CX through AA. The JL-Oneworld awards search was exactly what AA agents were seeing. I never would have been able to book my trip without it.

CX award ticket availability is NOT available on EF. Flight availability is, though.

There is no AA metal to HKG. The AA flights you see in that search, four digit flight numbers between 6000 and 6999, are codeshares operated by CX.

Use Aisamiles
 
I use the tool on www.asiamiles.com, you can register for an account and start searching there. It has worked for me.

That's by design. Some CX award inventory is only available to AM members.

Then I'm a confused newbie on EF.

I was thinking an AAward seat on any eligible carrier would be in the search results.

Z AAward on CX807/806 is a common ticket.

FYI:
The "Flight Award Finder" at asiamiles does not work for BKK. It's not in the pull down airport list and entering BKK, Thailand.. will result in an error.

AwardNexus.com
 
AwardNexus.com has CX award inventory. It is also the only non-airline service that has CX awards that is web-based and has a free version for FT members.

I'm not sure exactly what you're doing, but you can, indeed, search for awards to BKK using AsiaMiles.com. I just tried it to be certain before I wrote this post.

Glad you're enjoying your KVS Tool Membership!

The [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Method is, indeed, the most authoritative option for CX Award Availability and the results you see will match what the AA AADV Agents are seeing: http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Classes
