Hi all,

I was looking at booking an award ticket cgk-sin-man-iah. It had a long layover in SIN (14 hours) which I was fine with, but now it seems that coming from Indonesia that means I'll have 14 hours in a miserable transit area.

My questions are:

1) There are many flights from CGK to SIN, but only the morning flight has award availability. I'd HAPPILY pay the $148 far for CGK-SIN, and then use an award for SIN-MAN-IAH, but I that would be on two tickets, and thus not allowed? Or is there some way to tie the tickets together, or work around this?

2) How likely is it that a waitlisted award would come through? And how likely that a flight that is currently unavailable (for saver level) will open up?

Thank you.
