PUTPAC.
My bad i meant PUTPAC...
well here's my story.
i found that the LAN flights leave from AEP,.. until now i was searching BUE. finally now searching AEP-IGR i find availability.
now, on LAN.com the entire month of july augaust besides 1 or 2 days has the lowest mileage availability pricing for awards, so i assume that is meant to appear on BA.com but it doesnt.
the agent on the phone had horrible availibility and insisted neither him nor the people that he works with i.e supervisors or managers could do anything unless i was a gold member, - if i was a gold member they would get me availability even if it didnt exist. he said they have a agent in all their partners award teams that they call if a gold asks for a award flight. so scenario - gold member calls BA asking for award on july 4th with qantas. agent checks and see's no availibility, agent calls manager - manager calls contact in qantas award department. qantas contact opens seat up for ba - manager books gold member ticket.
sounds pretty awesome. again - this is just what this agent told me. it's not written anywhere so dont go round expecting it.
im still trying to find availability for july 30 AEP-IGR coming back augaust 1st....
