I asked the direct question "Can you see flights that I cannot?" and Karen answered "No I can't". I then ran through all the options that I'd been able to enter and get to the Check / Book stage using the multi-city 5 stop award booking. She tried to find a few other options but they all involved using paid flights other than awards - in some cases this did actually reduce my miles slightly but it was always a bad trade-off. She told me quite bluntly "Don't book over the phone with me, you'll be wasting 3,500 points for something you now obviously have figured out how to do yourself. Save those points for any changes you may need to do later". I was quite surprised by her frankness and also that, contrary to what I've read here, there are no flights other than what I've already spotted myself. Am I being told porkie pies here?
) - you call Qantas and change your wife's seat from Y to J. Everyone is happy including Qantas charging you 3500 points for the change. It isn't completely impossibleBoth your wife's and yours itineraries must be in J (280 K) to realise this scenario - for example you get a J seat booked on the Miami-San Paulo sector and your wife is in Y on the same flight, a month later a second J seat opens up (a miracle
You should also think outside the square and entertain an idea of getting to South America via Middle East flying Qatar. They fly to Buenos Aires and San Paulo and their J availability is better than LAN's from Auatralia or American Airlines' from the USA
