Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

I am looking to book a Thai airways redemption from SIN to MEL

I can see SIN-BKK and BKK-MEL individually but not the full routing. Noting that the screenshot method is now dead, would it be possible to still call and get this booked?

Unlikely.

The call centre can only see what we can see… they use the same booking engine (or something very similar).

You’d need to get through to the ‘special department’ to get this ticketed, which traditionally you’d use the screenshot method for. But without that, they are unlikely to assist you, or take the call.

Follow up on this... Would Thai check bags through if they are on separate PNRs?

I think they do, yes. But not so good price wise with the extra 9k for the economic cabin, or 20k for business, plus fees.

Might be worthwhile to call reservations… dunno if they will waive the second booking fee. But they would be able to put it all on the one ticket (just not at the ‘through fare’)

I notice that there is a multi city tool online but it only lets me add 3 segments. There is no way i can get rid of the 3rd flight.

Correct.

And the third flight takes you back to your city of origin IIRC?

It’s not a terribly useful tool for our purposes.
