Hi everyone, i'm new here...

Trying to search for star alliance partners from China to New Zealand, I created an account by ANA but still can't search, is there any other option except Continental??

Aeroplan.
See the first post of this thread for ANA workaround.

Aeroplan is the most awesome website on mileage deals, example i am going from jfk to pvg (china) and i wanted a stop in poland, so the way goes somewaht like this

to FRA, FRA to WAW, WAW to ZRH, ZRH to PVG, Then the way back its from PVG to ORD, and then to LGA

And everything First class, and for only 120,000 miles,

Its just interesting how aeroplan has better deals then united & all other star alliance members itself

Is it possible to ever find first class availability on partner airlines on CO.com? Say im looking to go from JFK to LHR or anywhere in Europe.

i always see business class avail. I sat on hold with CO last night for 30 minutes and had them look for me. They told me that when its available, it can be found online.
Anyone know more on this topic?

No.
AC/ANA are your best bets for F.

ANA, Aeroplan, and Lufthansa.

The availability you see on LH is only for miles & More redemptions, not partner redemptions.

LX is part of miles and more.

He mean that you wont necessarily be able to redeem with non-MM *A miles,

Gotcha.
How big is the difference in availability?

Interestingly I've been finding some LH J/F availability on the CO preview site that ANA/KVS doesn't come up with.

Take for example JFK-ZRH premium class, the difference is tremendous. Its going to be when there are only a few seats in a whole year that are available at one time to partners...

In general, how hard is it to snag a *A F seat on a trip to TLV? Seems like both LH and LX have almost no availability in F for any of the flights to/from LAX. Is that because there is only one flight a day to FRA (I'd rather not go through MUC because I want the F Terminal if possible) and ZRH on each airline?
