I just booked an award flight to extend my avios and the "valid until" didn't update.

Definitely call. Worst case you get it back with a fee.

Definitely call, speak to a supervisor, give him a sob story, you'll probably lose the taxes but you can get the Avios back. If at first you don't succeed, HUCA.

Booked a flight on March 3rd with Avios for a flight in June, but it doesn't look like they charged my credit card for the $5.60 fee at all. My Avios have been deducted from my account already. Should I call and make sure my flight reservation isn't messed up somehow?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this:

I recently flew KBP-LHR with BA in J with 15k avios - The seats were practically the same as economy so I ended up in Y so I can get a full row...

Question is if I have a shot of getting my miles refunded if I complain?

Probably not going to get anything as it was your choice and you knew it was fake J anyway. But cant hurt to try. Just make sure you chat with an agent in the UK not some Indian who doesnt have any clue or authority to issue meaningful compensation. I had to try multiple times with BA until someone from the UK took over the claim.

Thanks, I actually did not know it was fake J - So much for trusting SeatGuru

I have opposite issue. Flying Iberia MAD-TLV and seatguru says Fake J with blocked middle seat while IB customer service says its real 2 seat J. Dont know which one it is.

Aer Lingus but you can only search them on United and then call BA to book. Not sure if Air Berlin is YQ free. Anyone else?

Iberia has lower YQ on some flights than BA. I recently used BA to book IB from MAD to TLV in J for 21250 and about $56.
