unless you are a gold member there could be more availability

There is such a thing? This is for revenue or award tickets?

gold members have more availability some times.
I once needed to fly to Johannesburg and on ba.com they didn't show any first class seats and I checked and saw that they still have 5 seats unsold I sent an email to ba executive chairman in Israel he opened an award seat for me  :)

With Brussels airlines its 790 direct leaving Thu Sep 27 return Oct 11 and u earn mileage on star alliance.
With ba there is no way around it unless you are a gold member there could be more availability but try searching to London only and see if there are available flights
Not a gold member :-(
If there is available to london first class how would that help?
This first class idea is growing on me. If I cannot get trough ba, can't I transfer my Starwood or chase rewards point instantly to an airline and book first class? If yes, which airline would you recommend? (if not ba, I will most likely book first class the way there, and 4 coach tickets the way back...).

Once u get with ba to lhr u can just buy a separate ticket to Brussels.
From starwood u can't transfer instantly but from chase u could to united and ba but United doesn't have availability for your dates

@Smart Brit
Thanks for all your input thus far.
Perhaps you misunderstood, only if I fly another airline - other then BA - first class would I not fly first class the way back - as I would have to buy 2 first class tickets for my daughters. However, if I do somehow manage to get availability on BA for first class, I will of course fly first class both ways - as they will not require me to get 2 extra seats for my daughters (as  mentioned previously, they turn 2 during the trip). Is there any hope?
