I'd like to book a flight (Jan. 29-Feb. 5) with this deal, but I don't have enough MR available. I do have enough SPG. Is it worth transferring, or should I assume by the time the transfer goes through there won't be any availability. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone else book through EY today?
What were the YQ+tax costs?

Are MR-EY transfers instant?

Just booked a OW JFK-BRU @ 18.3 + $65
Transfer was instant

Def a HUCA sitch
EF shows RT avail for my dates
Call #1 only saw bad avail (much later than I wanted) for return and nothing for way in and refused to book OW either way
Call #2 saw my inbound date but not outbound. Successfully booked a OW at half and put waitlist for inbound.

I called them up and they said they were from manchester. That doesn't work usually? Perhaps they aren't open now.

FWIW, just for science, I booked a leg that UA showed avail, but AC and EF did not.

UA confirmed, but hasn't ticketed. I'm sure it won't.

What usually happens in that scenario?

Why are you sure it wont? My UA dummy ticketed very quickly (<5 minutes) FWIW

Foot in mouth. It ticketed. Not sure why AC/EF/EY can't see it.

Im not sure EY pulls from the same inventory as the rest. As for why UA is showing more inventory than EF, I can't answer that.

Is it the same amount of etihad miles to fly UA to Brussels instead of SU ?
