Greasemonkey is working for me.
Be sure that the little monkey by your address bar is enabled and try going back to the ANA home page and go to award reservations again.

Or use the longer ANA workaround.
Or purchase KVS.

Just merged this with the old thread, read post 1 for a workaround.

Here's another workaround from FT's sbm12 that appears to work great for me!
Install Greasemonkey for Firefox and restart your browser
Install this Greasemonkey script
Go to ANA here
Then click award reservation in the top left corner, login, and you should see Star Alliance search just like before they broke it!
the link to installing the grease monkey script doesn't work for me. can anyone update?

Ana does not let you search for star alliance partner award avail. if you have no miles in your ana account. I guess most people dont have any miles in their account. Here is a way around it, at the moment it works, I cant promise for how long

1) Click on "ANA International Flight Awards"
2) Enter any (valid) city pairs and any (valid) dates ( HAS TO BE A FLIGHT SERVED BY ANA, LIKE JFK TO TOKYO)
3) Click "Next", NOT of Flight Search
4) Scroll all the way to the bottom
5) You should see "Use Star Alliance Member Airlines" button, click this to search *A availability.
6) You will be redirected to the star alliance search page, from there it works without miles in the account

Have fun

where is the NEXT button??

Is there any "workaround" that still works for searches on ANA, with no miles in your account?  The greasemonkey script linked above seems to be dead.

thx

Search for an ANA route and then add Star Alliance.

Doesn't this work only if it's a route that ANA flies? I'm looking for US-Europe flights, so that doesn't seem to be an option.

thx
