AS miles for AM award ticket MEX - HAV?
Hi folks,
Wondering if there is anyway to book an award ticket for MEX - HAV rt on AM using AS miles? I would have all of the necessary docs indicating this is a research trip. Thanks!

Probably not, given that HAV is not recognized as a destination by the AS website, that uses the same engine the CS reps use...

I wonder what would happen, then, if I put my AS MP# on an AM MEX-HAV itinerary (booked via Canadian agency, etc)...

there are a lot of limitations for US Online Travel Agencies & Airlines to offer service to Cuba per the US Treasury Department --- so until things calm down more there, I'd think you can't book a ticket via the portal TO Cuba, however you most certainly should be able to EARN miles to Cuba.

Curious where this ended up as far as putting AS MP# in. The MX website wouldn't allow me to but I'm not sure why (was doing it in spanish because you can't use the english website to book a ticket like this 
Ended up that you can't pay in pesos and must pay in GBP, and to do so requires a call in to the MX london office to handle the payment. An extra ~$50 but still slightly cheaper than interjet or cubana for the dates.
