That's correct what makes the flight go into that category meaning bookable via sAAver?
Theres lots of AAanytime avlb but no Saver?

This falls under the purview of the airline’s revenue management department. They use complex data sets to predict the chances of a seat going unsold and collateral damage, and then release it. Anytime awards of available on any flight that has revenue seats.

Gotta pay those bills

lol They're all working otherwise. The weird thing is that AmEx isnt even showing it as an attempted charge, yet Iberia claimed it was declined.

The Iberia site tonight is not showing any AA RT flights, called them, said technical glitch, they are trying to make it very hard to book. Now I am hoping they cancel my flights and issue me a refund

Its showing all AA flights this morning, but every time i enter a credit card, it says its been declined. ANyone else have this issue? Ive tried with multiple cards now, and its not going through.

Why are people asking about refundable? These are the sort of questions that get deals killed for everyone. Be happy with buying for .2 cents. Don’t commit fraud or give the airline more of a reason to go after you.

Ya, implicit in my comment 3 up, was all the unethical Tuna Beigels you deal with on this site.

Judging by the asinine and uneducated questions in the comment section of DDMS, I’m skeptical that it was the right move to make a post about this. A lot of readers think they’re getting free tickets to the moon, and are going to get totally screwed.

I’m not criticizing the decision to publicize, because this was all over the blogosphere by the time you did. I’m just questioning whether your reader demographic knows what to do with this stuff.

Up In The Air / Re: Need help finding a ticket? Post here! Award ticket edition (Master thread)

« on: June 20, 2018, 07:12:52 AM »

Help please

One way/Round-trip: One way
Non-stop/Maximum stops/Any: Any
From: GRU, GIG
To: Anywhere in Europe ideally Paris (CDG or ORY)
Departure dates: June 27
Class: Any
Seats: Any
Alliance/Airline: Any

I can't find any good option from Brazil to Europe without paying a fortune ie. 125,000 miles with Air France. Any trick on how to find available awards?

Thanks!

JM

Direct to CDG on LATAM is $850 and and round trip is $1200. It may be cheapest to purchase the tickets using UR points.

How is that such a great deal? Any flight priced $1275 or under (of which there are every single day in the summer) is bookable with CSP for 85k UR or less. At least from NY. Unless you happen to be on the West Coast and have a bunch of UA to burn...

This may come as a surprise, but some people do live on the west coast

At least anecdotally it would seem that the average black male is being failed abysmally by the current system. Many are barely literate, lack even basic skills, and are de facto consigned to a life of public assistance/ and or crime. If would seem that prior to 1953 they were more productive, and less apt to enter the vicious cycle of crime and incarceration. Thee is no question that minorities were mistreated in many ways, but it’s likely that the liberal policy’s of the last half century have unwittingly harmed the African American community perhaps as badly or worse that the treatment they suffered under segregation....

I think you know very little about history.

It's basically impossible to get them to let you do it with a partner award.

I’ve definitely had success in the past paying $100 for a second stopover on a RT partner award. Is your comment specifically about one way stopovers?

I am attempting to book a one way on a partner airline (United to United), and pay $100 for a stopover. Phone agent is saying that the $100 stopover on a one way isn’t possible for partners. Has anyone had success recently? / Should I HUCA?
