If you can find the reward space online, just book those online and save yourself the booking fee.
Good luck with your trip!
May be a stupid question, but how is checked luggage handled for these one-way separate redemption bookings. I found LIS-BOS in J, and then a separate search for BOS-YUL-YVR/YEG. Is there a way to ensure the luggage gets checked through?
Thanks YEG USER for the help!
