Will be one way business for wife and myself and baby (it'll actually be 52,500 as they are charging 10% for the in-lap baby). I've read you want to redeem these on award flights 50K or greater but wondering if those that actually have the certificate in their account can check for me.
Thanks!
The implementation of these certificates is very "dumb" for a lack of a better word.
First of all they will use up as many certificates as you have per adult/child in the booking. So if you have 2 passengers + infant you will need 2 certificates to be available. Then they will simply deduct 50k per passenger. That's it. Can't do any booking for 3 passengers if you only have 2 certificates and can't tell the system to only use 1 certificates for a booking of 2 adults. You will need to book separately if you want to use only 1 certificates for 1 adult.
So the individual award cost needs to be 50k+ to maximize the certificates....
