Horrible title.1) First class awards are bookable through March 2015.2) First class awards are bookable through EOS with persistance.3) Neither AS or EK has made any official statement regarding first class awards.
it appears to only be a glitch
Following this. If i have a deadline, i'm gonna book now to make sure i get it.
Actually, it appears that Alaska believes that the lack of F after March is a glitch http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2015/01/17/official-statement-alaska-emirates-award-availability/?utm_source=TW&utm_medium=Twitter&utm_campaign=SNAP%2Bfrom%2BOne+Mile+at+a+Time
Can I book EK F BKK-HKG on a single award with AS miles or it's blocked for AS?
Both ticket numbers started with 027. I tried asking Emirates about this without any luck,so I lodged a complaint with DOT who are investigating further. I'll post with what ends up happening.
From flyertalk a$$hole who is about to ruin the deal: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alaska-airlines-mileage-plan/1381554-consolidated-emirates-ek-awards-availability-booking-routing-thread-91.html#post24209885
I happen to agree with him, how can EK take away a benefit after the ticket and chauffeur were booked? Retroactively canceling is disgusting. And how would a DOT complaint about a canceled chauffeur service kill EK- AS relationship? They fully deserve the DOT complaint
EK will just say enough with AS freeloaders headaches and stop giving away awards on EK F for AS members.
This man is an idiot.This is like filing a complaint with the DOT for not getting KSML after it was confirmed.
Reminds me of the guy who ruined the Lifmiles trick USA>GUAM get off the plane in NRT, I believe that guy complained something to DOT and Avianca stopped that trick.
