But can see the bookings in my profile and Amadeus - FLights confirmed but not ticketed
I think the first thing that was blocked is award ticketing on other OW carriers
Confirmed - official speech she said is a 'technical difficulty' to issue OW award tickets
Inofficially topbonus hotline just told me also confirmed ow and revenue bookings on other OW carriers (also with all flights HK-confirmed) will not be issued anymore until further notice...
E-mail forwarding of confirmation was manually stopped so you must write down the code online
However, she said it will not help as they will likely delete these bookings tomorrow morning
You can currently only use miles where Air Berlin seems to get revenue for doing so....
