Hi all,
I am planning a trip to the USA, which includes SFO as my first destination (from CBR), and then returning to CBR from LAX.
Basically what I'm after is a Classic Award in First or Business, (Business preferably, so that I can price match with Citibank Price Match Guarantee, and earn the points + SCs).
I signed up for Expert Flyer as well, what kind of seat alerts will help me most. I also heard about WPs getting Premium Desk to release them a seat for Classic Award Availability, my question regarding that is how is it done? What classes are usually released etc?
So basically,
Its:
CBR-SYD-LAX-SFO, or CBR-MEL-LAX-SFO. I could also go CBR-BNE-LAX-SFO, but that wouldn't be an A380 and therefore not as nice imho.
Preferably on 29th Aug. I'm happy to go on 28th or 30th too.
Returning, I'm looking at LAX-SYD-CBR, or LAX-MEL-CBR, or even LAX-BNE-CBR. This is for 10th October. (again + or - a day or so).
What classes should I put a seat alert in for? I had a look and there are a lot of A or I class seats avail, are these the ones available for release by Premium desk for WPs?? Or do they have to be P or U?
Some help would be great. I tried to call Platinum desk just then, but the lady told me that the guys/gals that can request releases of seats etc are only in 7am-9pm.
Thanks
