Eugene,
Would you mind explaining how these awards work? Are the tickets issued as regular revenue tickets or are the points passed through the airline ff program, which then issues an award ticket?
If they are rev fares, in what class are they issued?
Do the awards work the same for all airlines, including partner airlines? For example, does the AP14 award on South Africa Airlines earn ff points on Delta?
I'm slowly transferring some of my million LP miles into HHonors and am looking for creative ways to use them. I don't know how I missed this award. It sounds quite promising. While I'm asking a million questions--how is availability or award seats, are there blackout dates, etc.?
I'll call Hhonors to find out how to redeem these awards but would appreciate any tips and tricks you can give from your own experience.
Thanks.
