-By default only nonstop flights are shown, for this route the Continental flights from EWR to TLV are shown.
Click "connecting flights" to display more flights.
Each leg will have:
- Which means that the class selected doesn't exist
x Which means awards are not available
OK Which means awards are available

-Click on the arrows above the flights to go back or more forward a day.
-Click "search again" to change the dates.

-ANA search is far from exhaustive, it does not search all possibilities. To really search all options do a regular fare search on Orbitz and find all of the Star Alliance options. Then enter in each leg separately into ANA.
For example search for JFK-IST and then IST-TLV to go on Turkish via Istanbul, or JFK-MUC and then MUC-TLV to go on Lufthansa via Munich, etc.

Is "connecting flights" on the ANA or CO page?

twentie4hrs · « **Reply #172 on:** February 18, 2011, 12:38:26 PM »

sorry..I got it...took me a second

twentie4hrs · « **Reply #173 on:** February 18, 2011, 12:43:43 PM »

Using EWR doesnt help me bc I am starting in ORD..and for ORD it does show the "connecting flights" option....If it does say "ok"
do I need to call ANA or the airline?
