award business class availability

Hello everyone,
I have 160k az miles to spend and planning to use them to book two biz class tickets for any city on the us west cost, my plan is then to rent a car and drive around.

Az force you to call their CC on the phone and spend tons of time waiting to know if they have available award seats.

Is there a way to check biz class award seats availability?

Thanks in advance.

Yup. Go to NWA.com. You don't need an account and whatever you see there should be what AZ sees in their systems.

Make sure you check segment-by-segment to confirm the Business Class inventory. If you search something like MXP-DTW it will build the AMS connection for you but it might report availability when only one of the two segments is actually available.

Thanks everyone.

I finally got the trip booked on AF metal via CDG.
Unfortunately i will have to keep on calling the AZ CC since we got the return leg booked in two different days, but it seems availability changes any minute.

Any experience of the AF biz VS the KL one?

Thanks again and ciao.
