The cancellation deadline is 1 week prior, don't see why a 2 week approach makes any sense.

In fact the only approach that makes any sense for any awards is checking several times daily.
AA, DL, FB, etc.

Hmm?.. Tempting..

Searching for AA now. Having some issues

PUTPAC or use KVS mobile companion for TN space from LAX-PPT.
AF also flies to PPT.  Better availability CDG-LAX-PPT than LAX-PPT due to married segment logic...

Will search soon. Can I only take until Monday (Can you cancel the other days).

BOB by yourself?

Are you saying I'm crazy or should skip it?

This isn't a place I'd recommend going solo.

This is a place to save to go on a honeymoon with your partner.

Once I cancel the nights will go into award inventory.
Take what you want.

Whats so hard to understand?

He has award nights for the IC Thalasso for those dates, they are usually hard to get. If anyone wants them he will cancel them and you can book them ASAP from your account.

Cancelled. Should be bookable.
How did you get that? Did you reserve 1-2 rooms at a time and kept checking till you were able to get 6 nights in a row?
