Thank you. That's correct. I'd grown accustomed to seeing a 5 day hold not 24 hours and am confused as to why the discrepancy between the and everything other than 5 days.
My understanding is that the five-day hold is only offered on award reservations that are made at least a certain number of days (14? 21?) before departure. Perhaps your award reservation did not qualify?
