9W 590 for the day I want. AA told me to keep checking back. Is there any
way to set up an alert on 9W for the availability of award seats ? Also when
I try to book this on 9W website, it says sold out. Does 9W release these
seats later if unsold ? or this is not worth looking into at all ?
Please advise...Thanks..F.A.
1) There is no way that I know of that you can set up 9W award seat alert on 9W website.. you can try expertflyer though.
2) No idea what you mean by "Also when
I try to book this on 9W website, it says sold out" - If you not being able to see the seats, how are you trying to book it ??
3) 9W doesn't release seats closer to the date like Cathay or some other airlines.. Once the award seats are showing sold out, USUALLY there is no chance of those coming back on again..
4) Have you tried searching using Etihad's website for GOI-AUH for your dates ?? they have a decent search portal and I am guessing that since they are tied up with Jet very deep, they should show the award availability..
Enjoy.. Good luck..
