Adding an extra leg to a Flying Blue award ticket
Hi all
Has anyone had any success in adding an extra leg to a flying blue award ticket?
Currently booked LHR-MEX. The connection from MEX-PVR has opened up but the call center is telling me they can only re-ticket it if award availability is available for the entire itinerary (LHR-MEX-PVR). Is that correct?
Thanks!

Yes, that is correct. There would be a €45 change fee per ticket too.
Alternately, you can book the new sector as a new, separate ticket for the appropriate miles and taxes.

Do keep in mind though that it will cost you extra milesin the end, so I would cancel and re-book. To fly to PVR will cost the same amount of miles from LHR as to MEX. dont know the exact no of miles, but the €45 will always be cheaper I guess...

As the sector may never become available to book in FB, it may be better to look for an alternate way of getting from MEX-PVR, particularly if there are cheap cash tickets currently available
