Cant figure out a way to check for 9W award availability as I do not have any miles in my account. Any chance one an see if HKG-BOM/DEL for Feb 5th is available in Y/J/F please?

PS - Is there another way to check ?

5th Feb: HKG-BOM 9W 75: Economy & Premier (1 seat left) available
5th Feb: HKG-DEL 9W 77: Economy & premier (2 seats left) available

wow thanks!

Can I bother you to check

BOM/DEL-HKG on Feb 23rd or 27th please?

BOM-HKG-23rd Feb - Economy/Premiere(2 Seats) available.
DEL-HKG -23rd Feb - Economy/Premiere(2 Seats) available

BOM-HKG-27th Feb - Economy available. Premiere not available.
DEL-HKG -27th Feb - Economy/Premiere(2 Seats) available

Presumably those inquiring about 9W availability here do not have 9W miles (or they could have checked themselves) and plan to use partner miles.

Therefore it should be pointed out that just because 9W makes certain seats available for its own awards does not mean those will be necessarily available to partners as well.

Of course, it is a good sign and doesn't hurt to ask.

Hi!
I'm looking to fly Jet Airways LHR to DEL or BOM and return.
Could someone be so kind and check availability in F for me?

From LHR, April 25 - May 5
From DEL or BOM, May 10-20

Thank you, much appreciated!

True. I recently tested out this theory by using AAdvantage.
Checked availability on 9W myself for DEL-HKG sector. 2 seats available in business class.
Rang up AAdvantage and sure the agent could see 2 seats. I made her put one of them on hold for me. After ending the call, checked my AA account to see if the award was properly held. Then logged in to my JP account and sure enough, the sector now had only 1 seat available.

At least AAdvantage has access to the same inventory that 9W makes available to own members. YMMV for other programs.

Sorry to bring bad news, but I checked every date for both combinations and there isn't a single F seat available for either the outbound or the return.

Plenty business class was showing along the way, if its any consolation.

Ok, thank you!

So i have roughly 150k miles sitting in my SBI-AI CC account. And i have another 60k points in my Citi PM account (translating to ~30k miles). I have a biz trip coming up to US west coast (LAX) in Jan end which i am clubbing with a holiday in which my wife would join me later. My company pays only for Economy class fare.

So i was thinking of two options -

1. Buy a revenue Economy class fare for my wife and use miles to upgrade the return leg for both of us to Biz
2. Use the miles to buy my wife's economy class ticket

Complicating matters is the fact that only *A flying to LAX from India i could find are SQ/Lufthansa/TK. What should be my modus operandi for this ?

get her on the AI flight to SFO, and buy a ticket between SFO-LAX.

Can someone check is there a Economy or Biz class award seat open in Del-SFO on 27th Jan on AI ?

Nope, zero in either class.

Tip: You can search AI availability on United's website without any registration.

So there seems to be economy class open on LH from BLR-LAX if i search on United website. Is it fair to assume AI would be seeing same availibility and i can book through them ?
