question re: award ticketing / family pooling for niece
I was hoping to award ticket for my sister and her daughter. I know that my niece is not eligible to be part of my family pool, however, i was wondering whether my sister would be able to use my points (via pooling) to buy her daughter's ticket. The agent i spoke with said no, but was curious if anyone might have had a different experience / is it worth me trying with a different agent.
thanks!
thanks!

I can't personally vouch for this one, but I'm thinking if you are in a family pool with your sister (who is linked on Skypass with her daughter) then it might be possible. It could be worth a try, but I would recommend your sister holding off on booking her flight until her daughter is accepted or denied for her ticket.
