With the demise of Mexicana, I'm looking into other options for booking the Mexico portion of my upcoming trip.
Purchased flights on AeroMexico are not a good value (understatement), so I was looking into partner redemption.
I am not a current LANPASS member, but was considering transferring some points out of SPG into a new LANPASS account if booking AeroMexico award travel is possible.
Which leads to a few questions:
1) How long should I expect SPG-->LANPASS transfer to take? My flights within Mexico start 9/21 - I'm probably a little late here.
2) Any experience with availability on AeorMexico using LANPASS? I tried to call, but they don't have weekend hours; also no way I can find to look it up online.
3) Will they put award travel on hold awaiting transfer of SPG points to LANPASS km's?
4) Can you book one way travel on AeroMexico using LANPASS awards?
5) I'm looking at the following itinerary:
-outbound PVR-OAX (connects in MEX) 985 km (PVR-OAX); 1028 km (actual routing PVR-MEX-OAX)
-return OAX-MEX (non-stop) 370km
So, would I need:
Outbound - 9000, Return 6000 Total 15000 km based on point to point kms
-or-
Outbound - 10,000, Return 6,000 Total 16000 km based on actual routing kms
-or-
Longest Segment - 9,000 (or 10,000) x2 = 18,000 or 20,000 (not sure how they price out open jaws, or if you can)
-or-
Can I book just PVR - OAX one way for 9-10K and purchase the return which is not as expensive?
