Can't see why he shouldn't have been able to. The CSRs are so dumb at times, last week one told me I can't book TG on a *A award...

Expanded availability for elites?
Not sure. All he said due to it being a I class ticket there is availability .
And first rep said can't book on any *alliance only UA

Instead of an available AC flight?  ::)

Did you say it "should have" been $50 because account is silver?

Yes and he said no its 75$ no questions.  Will probably call tomorrow to fight it.
And yes put me on unavailable UA instead of available AC

I don't understand how they let you take a "connection" of over 24 hours without turning it into a stoppover, and requiring extra miles.

Much to learn my friend and you would be wise not to post in absolutes until you do

I'm still waiting for Platinum Guy's lengthy post on the best way to do this.
I'd pay for a good lesson in this.

Everything one needs has already been written, posted, etc.

It's no great secret that needs to be revealed.

Just gotta take the time to read.

It seems like it takes lots of calls, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if MileValue posts a bit at some point. He has the best ff devoted blog out there IMNTBHO.

Just checked and he just posted an introduction to a series he's wiring on it.
Lol
But others have written substantially on the matter before

To clarify. I'm familiar w/ his great posts on free one-ways.
I was referring to adding in extra stopovers on a one-way, or a round trip besides for the allotted amt. I'd be glad to learn the trix of doing these.
