70,000 mile per ticket for Y.
I'm trying to get her sister on the same flights using her sister's OP non-elite account. The search will not show 1037 or 1038 rather first class seats @ 70,000 each through MIA and PTY.
Tried once on the elite line, explained the situation and they told me they couldn't do it because she's non-elite. Too expensive to transfer her miles into my account.
Any experience with this? Should I keep trying elite desk?
It never hurts to try a different agent. If inventory is available for an elite, they "might" make it available to a non-elite when reqquested by an elite and in conjunction with the fact that your wife and daughter is already booked on a flight. I would say you ascertain first that elite inventory is in fact available, and then throw yourself on the mercy of the court.
