With CX awards I typically book what I can get first and then swap for whatever I want closer to last minute when more seats come out, so far my success has been 100%.
Tia is for the tip, much appreciated. I am good at buying and used to be great at working the system booking on AA, but not with CX and others since availability became so scarce and with the increase in miles needed on AA. I book so many trips in J and F, I got all these miles to burn and really appreciate feedback like yours.
Thanks for taking the time.
