Using FF Miles on China Flight -- Booking them for fiance
Hi Birdseye,

My fiance is not averse to taking a different flight than mine. It looks like AA FF tickets are easily available in mid-December when she and her daughter would be flying. I just want to be extra clear -- I am permitted to obtain FF tickets in her name and address in Beijing under my American based FF miles that I have from AA. Just being extra cautious before I start getting tickets in a little bit of a complicated situation.

Also, thanks to the additional people who commented since my last reply. Everyone has been helpful.

Best wishes,


DB

It would be easiest to buy the two round trip tickets, after booking the one-way tickets, so you can get the return seats on the same flight.

While you cannot buy a ticket on the same itinerary as an award ticket, you can link itineraries after purchasing.
