Checking Star Alliance availability

[Danger UXB]

HI all
I'm looking to get to GVA next Feb for a ski and I need to check star alliance redemption availability. I signed up for the ANA tool but the *alliance search is blanked out as it says I do not have sufficient points. Is there another way to check *alliance stuff without getting on the phone to Krisflyer?

Thanks in advance

To use the ANA tool you need to first put in a route flown by them... once you have THAT result up you can modify it to what you actually want... and you'll find the "*A" option is then available...

This tool may assist as well:

AwardTravelr - Searching across all possibilities to make your frequent flyer miles work for you draws on inventory from AC, NH and UA.

Will it also show SQ premium availability (if it does exist)?

If so, then no real reason why it can't fully supersede the use of individual tools (let alone ANA, which, for some reason, has been a steady workhorse for most *A redemptions, especially US and BD).

It was returning inventory for SIN-EWR direct flights, when recently (and fleetingly and apparently) available.

Agreed, although the presence of QR inventory continues to be a slight irritation ... for the time being.
