    Anyone having trouble booking award travel SYD/BKK ? Dates show availability but when I try to book I get told ERROR. Never happened before . It happens on 100’s of days tested and in either direction[ATTACH=full]486[/ATTACH]

    Are you looking at economy? Everything else has been blocked anyway since January.

    Expert Flyer is showing available award space in both Economy and Business. However, I don’t know if they set aside some space that’s not available to partners. Still, it’s probably worth a call to UA to see if an agent can see the space.

    Thank you TexasFlyer and MidSouth Skier. I was Looking Business or First Class . Anyone know why its blocked ? Or if its going to be unblocked ? I can get the flights if I search Singapore/ Sydney . It flies SIN/BKK and then BKK/SYD ??? but can’t book direct . Thanks again

    Too many people have been booking TG premium award tickets out of BKK, esp to Australia. Only B747 has first class service though. TG/UA have been blocking these flights – if connecting flights are available then take them as the situation might change any minute.

    Thanks TexasFyer much appreciated

    BTW TexasFlyer . Both Qantas ( code share ) & Emirates have direct first class flights out of BKK to SYD in addition to TG . Singapore and Malaysian have 1 stop via KL & Singapore respectively . Not done to one up you but to be helpful if you need F class out of BKK to SYD. Cheers

    United/Star miles were only good for TG first, not EK. These are 2 direct products for the time being, TG is getting rid of B747s shortly. SQ is connecting and not available via partners. Not sure if MH A350 has first class to SYD but need to have a regional connecting flight to KUL first.

    Thanks MidSouth Skier . As you predicted. They just had an issue with their award inventory . Will now cancel my MH ticket ! Much appreciated . Neil
