Since we usually organised alternatives on awards issued with purchased miles in business, the option of fighting AI for a JFKorORD-India 13-14h direct in Y vs a confirmed LX or LH C award didn't really make it worth the effort.
ok.. but can expedia say this ... id it allowed in their T&C's
And if expedia shows this price, will the prices in other sites like travelocity or AI main site be much different ( though I m aware that AI online booking takes quite a while). My point is if expedia shows a fare which is not being found anywhere else (even within a approx range), then its probably not an updated one, but say we find the same fare in skyscanner or travelocity etc, then it should be available IMHO..The excuse that AI did not honour the fares
may be to hide their own problem ..
