You're using the Aeroplan site to check availability, and if available you'll have to call in United to book, as United's site doesn't show Lot awards

I hope they don't start showing LOT availability like they started showing SN availability.

Just did a bunch of searches and it seems Aeroplan isn't showing US anymore.

ETA: Just called, reps can't see it either.

IIRC, SQ should be 17,500. UA is 25,000.

YQ shouldn't be to much. It may even be cheaper than UA's close in fee.

With SQ you have to PUTPAC. They can hold awards. If you transfer MR now, it will probably post sometime after midnight.

How much would be the YQ on OS?

Is there still a work around to book one-way using ANA points? ORD-TLV

rewardflyer.com can be pretty useful in showing *A availability and the points required by some of the alliance members. The CC offers can be helpful if you don't have the miles.

If you want to plug your site, just be open about it.

Can it set alerts?
