Availability of flights on M&M website

I have been trying to search for flights to LAX from LON, ZRH or FRA, on business class. I have been looking at all possible dates during Summer and Fall, but each time the website says: No available flights were found!

Is it really what M&M is (one lottery seat available every month)? Or is it just an error of the system?

You can display award availability for all *A flights on the ANA website, but you need to enroll in their program to do this. More Info can be found in the LH Forum.

Not sure if LX is now showing, but as the OP was asking for different * routings between US and Europe he should find availabilities there.

I was hoping to see any flight with LX, LH or Austrian, but nothing. It's like it's impossible to book a flight either in business or economy on the website.

Yes, since yesterday this fabulous tool also displays LX-flights. ^

I know, but I was confident the tool would show LON-FRA-LAX or LON-ZRH-LAX.... otherwise, how would you do it?

Same here, no seats in C class in November FCO-FRA-CPT... there are either seats in Y class, or C class but to JNB only with LX via ZRH. Maybe LH isn't keen on ex STC members spending their transfered miles in C class on LH?
I think I'll wait until April 10 when SAA join *A and try my luck with them.

In my experience, ZRH-LAX in F has become very hard to get since the A340 (8 seats in F) replaced the MD-11 (12 seats in F).

ZRH-LAX in F is almost impossible to get in the summer vacation period. Maybe you could try via JFK and then on a UA PS flight.

it was (on march-27) only possible for me to get ZRH-JFK in first with LX for end of august and then with AA to the Westcoast, my return in mid-sep also had to be booked via JFK.
