It's such an edge case that I doubt it's come up very often.
Thanks to you both re my question. I was trying to understand nuances of the flexible-biz award vs revenue tx. I am digging deeper since coming to understand that the rules between them can differ. For example the rule re connection time.
I understand and don’t like no longer being able to wait list for mixed cabin awards. I rarely chose them in the old days because I wanted more assurance. But, sometimes there wasn’t as much choice as one might like.
Starting to book tx while learning the ins and outs of the new program. With little flying during Covid the learning curve is steep.
