Thanks BC - looks like I can buy some miles now. What about upgrades would it be easier to book my tickets and then upgrade with the miles? I am trying to check availability on the ANA website,

Having read through this thread it seems like it will be difficut for me to buy miles for three people though

No, that is a terrible option. Only flexible (read, very expensive) economy fares are upgradeable. For what you pay for a flexible (B or Y class) economy fare you could probably find discount business class somewhere else!

I had a look on the ana site, but I could not seem to find availability in business/first on Thai/turkish airlines. I have an economy flight on hold and I have to pay for it tomorrow It is a shame as there is a ten hour layover in Bangkok on the way back which is a real pain.

Just about to book flights and would love to know if there is a limit to the amount of sectors you can book. I have found flights lhr - zhr - bkk - syd but we are travelling from Glasgow. Could I add in a Gla - lhr with BMI or is this too many sectors. Many thanks again.

Eight in total, usually interpreted as four in each direction, so you will be fine.

Is there another way to search for these flights apart from the ana tool?

So Can these seats be booked online, I read you had to ring the airline to book.

I am a member of aeroplan, what do they have to do with it all, the above link does not work.

Apologies for questions, if I read the 50 pages no doubt all would be clear

Guys, unrelated but I thought i'd try given everyone has some tools or perhaps just some experience.

I have to fly from San Fran to LHR. Only flight I could get on was Continental. I'm on flight CO4259 which is a 777200 ER.

However....seat Guru says this is a 3/3/3 seat configuration plane. The Continental seat map seem to show 2/5/2. Seat guru seems to indicate that nont of the 777200 are 2/4/2.

Does anyone know how I can find out which is accurate?

CO4259 doesn't sound like a CO flight - you will probably find it is operated by United Airlines and yes, UA has 2-5-2 seating arrangement in economy.

Damn, there I was thinking I was being smart! Thanks for the info, going to change my seats now....even thought the thing had only two seats free apparently.
