KRK-WAW-JFK on LO in Y/J
52k M&M +$133.48

Now lets hope LO doesnt pull the same shenanigans as those booked with J seats booked with AC.
I booked LO J through OZ a few months ago, meanwhile there's been no issues.

They hadn't been honoring AC bookings. This has now resulted in AC now not being able to show or book LO awards even though UA and LH show and can book award availability.

i think it has to be on united for the challenge- i may be wrong

If it works i dont mind not using the vouchers- i dont mind flying int'l

For my parents in December:
CLE-CLT-LAX-LIH AA 20K Y
OGG-DFW-CLE AA 40K J lie-flat

Honestly, I was shocked that these were available for their dates!
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Changed to JFK-HKG 7/31- CX F
I'm not sure if this is too much time in HKG but it's not enough time to do HKG and another place so I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it like this.

HKG-SFO
CX J
50K AS + $61 tax + $12.50 for booking non-AS airline.

Agent said there is a $125 change fee.
I asked if there would still be a change fee if I were upgrading to F, and she said they would waive it. (Glad it's a recorded line!)
