Then once you find AF availability, the best way to book the flights is using Multi City, entering the various connecting cities and choosing the flights that you know have award availability. I pieced together an open-jaw award ticket to Europe in J using DL within the US and AF across the Atlantic. Took a fair amount of work to find the seats, but got it all for 100K.
Let me try this again -
I checked for award travel last week for MIA-CDG and saw direct flights on AF every day. Now, the only thing showing is an occasional AF flight from a connection with Delta. What's up?
I don't have flexible dates enabled, I already know AF has direct flights i.e. no connections, and I want a direct flight.
