She said they are working on adding functionality to the website at some point in the future so Mosaics can see the number of certs required prior to booking (with no estimate of when this might become available).
I had to cancel and rebook my trip three times, but I was finally able to book a round-trip to CDG for 4 certs total (2 in each direction). As best I can tell, the number of certs seemed to correlate directly to the Mint price (requiring more certs as the Mint price in $ went up, and I saw TATL flights requiring 2, 3 and 4 certs).
I was previously able to book my wife DCA-BOS-CDG-BOS-DCA using all 4 of her M3 certs (2 in each direction). I just booked myself JFK-CDG-JFK using all 6 of my M4 certs (4 certs for JFK-CDG and 2 certs for CDG-JFK). The difference in cash price was about $1700 for JFK-CDG and $1100 for CDG-JFK. JetBlue doesn't fly between DCA-JFK anymore, so I will need to find some positioning flights (probably on Delta), but just glad I was able to book a round-trip using the certs that overlaps with her trip.
