So i just got off the phone and i have 2 questions
I am looking to book a one way award from Amsterdam to Linz ( austria)
I did checked the award availability using the united website to get a feel of whats available.
1 The routing I wanted was: AMS MUC FRA LNZ or AMS ZRH FRA LNZ ( seats where all available )
However the agent told me they would charge me 40 000 miles for this to be in business class iso the 20 000 for a oneway award .. is this correct ?
She claimed as it was a double stop they need to charge me twice ?
2 Then we switched to a AMS FRA LNZ option and the total in taxes where over USD200
which i find also quite high.
I am benchmarketing a bit on the united website where I can get my preffered routing in C class for 20 000 miles and only USD80 in taxes
Ofcourse i realize that these are 2 different programs with different rules, but can someone tell me is the agent was correct? ( since I have very little experience redeeming miles)
Thanks
