Looking at some tickets YYZ-ORD in the middle of June. The flight I want currently has 2 business tickets available and no economy (nothing available the whole day). I need 3 tickets. Should I book the 2 business tickets now? Or hold out for economy availability?

Generally I would say to book cause you can always cancel but leaving Canada taxes are higher, how long have you been watching these tickets?

A couple of weeks. There were three economy tickets on the flight I needed but I was busy and didn't book. Came back the next day and they were gone

That's why when I check for availability on AA, I always put the tickets on hold until I'm ready to book. Those seats fill up fast.

You need to search using Avios.

Question: I see the air berlin flight jfk-dus-tlv it says 7 seats available. But if I search more then one seat it won't come up?

So I booked one seat and now it won't show anything.
What can I do to get 2 more seats

Call. They may be able to access more. If not, you can cancel the one you have on that phone call. (within 24 hrs)

An idea if anyone has spare time to compile a table in the wiki with the international call center numbers and their opening times according to eastern time

trying to figure out where i can find in my account when my miles will expire, the only thing i'm seeing is card expiry date which dosen't seem to be the expiration of my miles because the date is 31 jul 2015 but i used my account a few months ago to book a ticket so it should be 36 months after

It is, the card expiration seems to just be when they renew your membership card.

Correct, 36 months after redeeming or earning miles. Is that something that would show in your account ?

It will not show anywhere in your account, just check your last transaction
