Just got word of a trip to the UK in July 2003 (yes, that's 2 years from now). I'll want to book 2 FC award tickets, and I'm assuming availability will be scarce so I want to book early. How far ahead of time can I do this?</font>
We went to London in April of this year, the week before Easter (returning the day before Easter). We booked 3 FC award tickets. We made the reservations in early September for travel in early April, which was 7 months in advance. Going to the UK, I got the exact flights I wanted with no problem. Returning, I couldn't get on my first choice of flight, but had no trouble getting on my second choice. I was told that the difficulty was that we were traveling close to Easter.
