Question re redeeming an intl award incl a domestic flight
I currently have an award booking held with this routing:
LAX-NRT-CCC (Japanese city)/NRT-LAX
I was told I could not do:
LAX-NRT-CCC/DDD-HND/NRT-LAX (open jaw plus layover)
Can I do:
LAX-NRT-CCC/CCC-HND/NRT-LAX
2nd question:
I thought that domestic flights were including free on an international ticket. That appears to not be the case.
Initially I booked (2 people):
180K SAN-LAX-NRT-CCC/NRT-LAX-SAN
170K LAX-NRT-CCC/NRT-LAX
and I saw
160K LAX-NRT/NRT-LAX - outbound is mid season, return is low. Thus, the domestic flight added 5K miles/ticket, or 10K for two tickets.
If I am allowed to fly LAX-NRT-CCC/CCC-HND/NRT-LAX, does it require more miles?
