    Avianca Life Miles - post your SUCCESSFUL award bookings here

    Managed to snag 2 x F CDG-SYD on TG via the screenshot method. Received a confirmation email with a request to call them by 11am Colombia time or the reservation would auto-cancel. Surprising, as I had included my phone details and was expecting a call as per most of the experiences detailed...

    Well, it took five calls over a period of a few days, but I'm now a member of the GUM club! Reasons for failed attempts included "there's no way in the world our system would allow me to ticket a seat to GUM via anywhere in Asia!", and "yes ma'am, I'm certain there are no seats at all ex SYD...

    Yep, that was my experience, too. Mr & Mrs Howard on QF5 a couple of weeks ago (just before F1 weekend), without an entourage. The NZ Black Caps last week on MH CMB-KUL. A few older blokes in the J cabin, and the rest in Y. I was 1K, and whoever it was behind me sure liked to jab at his IFE...

We're justifying F over C, as we're only taking a week off work and must be well rested upon our return. Right?! :D 4 seats (using the tried & tested 'book two, then...
