- flew CPT-HKG-SFO yesterday in CX J/F on an Alaska award.
Do you feed the agent the segments individually which comes up with no availability and then ask them to attempt to ticket it anyway and it ends up married and confirmed? I would suspect many agents would give a lot of pushback on that unless they had previous experience with completely different results from what their screen was telling them. Or, do you just ask to search for CPT-SFO and let the system come up with the flights?
