Seminar #4 Booking Award Travel Time and Date TBD 2 hours
Actual Scheduled Time is Saturday 10 AM to 11:45 AM
Gleff Quote: Rick asked for a blurb for my talk, but honestly I haven't written it yet, so none of this is set in stone. But I'll share what I have in mind.
I have booked over 200 award tickets in the past six months. I even found award seats to get folks home during the volcanic eruptions and when the BKK airport was shut down at the end of 2008.
Some of the initial topics I plan to share my experience with:
* Aspirational Awards: What's Possible with Points
* The Best Value Awards
* Which Points are the most Valuable?
* Preparing for the Call: Doing Your Homework to Score the Impossible
* How to Find Award Seats that CSRs Say Don't Exist
* What Routes Always Have Seats, Or How to Get There When All Else Fails?
* Talking Your Way Out of Change Fees
... with plenty of time for questions and discussion
