Help With RTW
Okay so I need to get from CDG to SYD and arrive anytime on July 16th. I need 3 H class seats on *A. Routing doesn't really matter, but can't be more than a double connect and must be eastbound travel only. I can't find anything. Any suggestions?

What about this:
[KVS Availability Tool 2.1.0/Platinum - Apollo: ITN/CWT/US-CA]
You'll arrive at 6:15am on the 16th. Time to grab a cab to the CBD, but probably no shower. 
The availability looks fishy on the LH/TG codeshare, but it seems to be there. You'll have to get CDG-FRA, but that shouldn't be too hard, there are lots of availability on good connections:

Out of curiosity... why does H class matter? The H class mileage upgrade is a UA thing I believe.. since you would be on other airlines... why do you need H?

Whilst not the 16th arrival, it's 2010 arrival time on the evening of the 15th - which is as good as 16th given the lack of much else!

LX1628 ZRH-MXP 1210-1305 - 3 H available
