Thanks for the reply, SCM. However, all the flights are SA planes. Pre covid I flew this route annually, always on Singapore. Hopefully Japan will announce changes to its borders for tourists soon, and then the flights will become available? Anyway, I will keep trying.

Hello all. I am trying to book a flight to Osaka for late December this year. However, after I choose my flights and go to "Choose my seats". I am told that my request cannot be processed at this time and to try again. Does anyone know why this is? I am thinking it's because Japan hasn't...

Thanks, good to know. Now if only booking US Air awards were as easy!:(

The JAL site IS really clunky!! So does this mean the KVS JL MB account will serve as an alternative to the JAL website? Does it show the same information? Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Yep, I am wanting C class. According to KVS, there is 1 award seat available on CX via CNS and also BNE. Ok, good to know the "routing issue" is actually a "non issue". I am a JAL member so I will check their website. Am not a BA member and I seem to recall a...

Thanks SMIT0847 for the quick reply. Will try to ring again and see. Hopefully I won't get the same agent, that would be awkward! Will also try via the JL website and SYD-NRT. Busy day at work so will have to do this afternoon. Guess it certainly is no skin off my nose to take the shinkansen...

There are no direct flights from...

Thanks guys. Good to know about Skype! Yes I gather from my reading on AFF, I will be in for a long call! Did either of you do much research for available flights (I am on KVS) before you rang? I haven't bought the miles yet but thought I would ring first, see if anything is available, put the...

That's great! I also want to go to Japan over the Xmas holidays on miles. Am looking for availability presently. Can I ask if you used Skype to call US Air? My understanding is that it is free if both parties are using Skype? Is this the case when you called? Or is it because the number is a...

Thanks Doggy and Markis10. I will stop dithering and just buy some miles. I will try the SQ route. Otherwise just wait it out until Cathay release more award space.

Hello all. 1st time poster here. Am wondering if anyone can help? I am considering taking the plunge and buying enough dividend miles in order to go japan at xmas (J class). From reading how difficult it is obtaining awards with Qantas, I am looking at cathay. I have checked kvs and although...
