Finding availabile reward flights

I've just signed up to Expert Flyer which lets you do some really cool stuff (I sound all geeky now!!)...

However what I'm trying to do is to find out what dates are available for free reward flights in UC to HK using miles. On BA I can do this is FIRST dead easy. It displays a grid showing every single day in every future month where there is availability and where there's not. With Expert Flyer, I think?, that I can do it +-3 days at a time, and on VA site I have to try one day at a time.... which is a nightmare and I got bored well before I found a single free date!!!

Does anyone know how I can find out the info in the same sort of useful form as I can with BA?

Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to phone Flying Club. The Virgin website is unfortunately very behind in this regards.

Shortcomings in the VS website discussed here.

Thanks,

Actually, you CAN do it on the VS website with 10 searches for an entire month, as it DOES check +/- 1 day on your request.

Still a bit of a pain though.
