I just noticed "2 Adults", which does make me wonder. I had been told by someone on FT that in this sort of instance, CX would use your all your miles for the first ticket, and then you'd need 70% of the mile balance for the second. But I asked someone at MPC about that, and they said no, you would need 70% for the entire transaction. Somebody was wrong. I hope it was the FT commenter. Please report back on what you find.
I said that. I am (perhaps also was) wrong. I did that without topping up, and the booking ended up in two transactions. So my thought was that AM processed the transactions sequentially.
