Thanks everyone for the replies. A couple of followups:

1. We already have a OW, only need the return.
2. How is it possible to book these TK/AC flights using MP miles before the flights are available on the MP system? Are they bookable only with an agent?
Thanks.

Could you please clarify what you mean by "*A partner flights"? Thanks.
