Sometimes I noticed that many these sites do not provide a place to input any Frequent Flyer at all.
(for example Ovago)
I called a couple of them and half of the time the rep who picked up either say it's not possible, or they don't know.
The other half say to call them after you book it to add it.
I'm a bit worried that even if I call and they add it, it may end up not working because "some people made some mistake".
How do people deal with this?
Airlines have a "manage my booking" where you can add the ffn yourself. Never seen an airline that does not, but may be some.
But that is assuming the flight is eligible to earn ff miles/avois/points. Not all cheap flights earn.
And some are "selling" award flights with other peoples ff miles.
Just book direct with the airline
