Changing an award
I need to book an SFO-NRT award using LM. Currently only SEA-NRT is available and the SFO-SEA award seats are not. The question I have is if I booked and ticketed the SEA-NRT award now and am willing to pay the $150 later, can I add-on the SFO-SEA segment if seats become available prior to departure?

I have been trying for a week to get this route to price out and now today I try it jumped from 45k to 47.5k way to go LM's.
Furthermore they increase all routing I can see by 2.5k o/w . The Y fares remain the same the J/C fares increased by 2.5k and F by 5k

Which route? Maybe they're devaluing their award chart to compensate for the cheap miles they're selling. Still decent value for simple awards without stop overs compared to the Euro FFPs with their high fuel surcharges.

This program seems slippery in one direction, with little to no advance notice about where they are taking the customers of this program.

Nonetheless, a devaluation without notice is awful. Just awful. Go eat your glitches and then go away. Ewwwwwwwwwww.
