how do I look for available  on JAl
If it’s touching the us easiest to search is via Alaska and then call it in or book online, if it’s not touching the us then you can use qantas for availability

Probably a personal preference question....Do you care to step over people getting out?

Def is. I don't mind stepping over people. More concerned sitting next to someone who doesn't try to stay in his personal space. I rarely sit in the middle but I can't remember how economy plus is.

Not sure if this is the right thread. I would like to book tickets for a flight on Friday morning using either delta certificates or CSR points. would any of those options allow me to cancel within 24 hours of booking even though it will be within 24 hours of the flight?

looking to book direct flights from YYZ to MIA or FLL. However, on the United website, direct flights on Air Canada are not showing up as a mileage option. What other points program can I use to book these flights?

AC = Air Canada / Aeroplan. Make an account with them and check for space. They often have their own award inventory that they don’t release to partners.
