Anyone successfully done it? We have our hearts set on flying MCO - MAN in upper class on VA. However, when booking awards flights on VA the fees are astronomical. I thought I would try the through SQ but was told availability won't open until 2 months out. That doesn't make much sense to me. I've looked for info on this redemption but can't find anyone that has actually done it even though it is a legit option.

Thanks!
