SkyTeam Award Search Tips

[dpk4588]

I'm trying to search Korean award tickets using the multi-city search and when I search JFK-AMS-JFK, it will show me a direct on the JFK-AMS but route me via DUB or BRU (implying that the trans-Atlantic route is available), but then if I search JFK-AMS, and BRU-JFK it will still show me the direct flight JFK-AMS but won't show me the direct flight BRU-JFK, but rather route me via DUB & AMS. I don't know much about Skypass in general, will they be able to book me the direct flights (JFK-AMS & BRU-JFK) if I call, or can the call centers only book what shows up online?

I'm also getting the following message when I search certain multi-city routes:
"Non-SkyTeam operated route can be allowed in final destination only for entire journey"
Anyone know what that means?

i'm trying to find an AMS-JFK nonstop KLM flight thats available on KLM/AF Flying blue for 44k but not showing on delta. I tried a rep and she did not understand anything and said i should call KLM and give them my delta points. is there any chance i will get somewhere with Delta or do i have to book one way on delta and one way through Flying blue (losing out on roundtrip discount on Delta plus paying more fees)? Any other options?

Im trying to book a delta flight from YOW to LGA. I only have chase points so Im trying to book it through Flying Blue. When searching on AirFrance it doesn't show any available options, but when looking on delta i see award tickets available. Is there a reason why those flights aren't showing up on AirFrance? and is there a way to book them with flying blue miles? (The dates i tried with are: Sept 30 - 10k on delta for economy, Oct 3 - 8.5k on delta for economy, as well as a bunch of others...)
Any advice??

Thanks

I seem to recall @Dan saying that with Delta, even if it’s a ‘saver award’ that’s available to partners, it still possible that Delta wont price it as one.

Saw an AM flight on DL that suddenly disappeared yesterday. I checked FB today, and I see it. Would someone (with a paid EF  subscription) be so kind as to check if it's phantom?

are there any sky team partners that dont charge outrageous taxes/surcharges for DL/VS departing London to NYC?

It's going to apply to all airlines as the bulk of it is a tax.

Usually a waste of miles when flying to London as tax is crazy high.
 Ba fissure not ,while IB is a bit less.
