I'll use my miles for something else in the future then. And make sure to snatch a flight when it's available
Welcome to FT, sanasa!
Since you are new to booking award flights, let me offer some additional comments. Policies on holding award reservations and on cancelling booked award reservations and refunding miles without penalties vary from one airline's program to another's, and are also subject to change within a given program. It would be a mistake to assume that the procedures in effect today will remain the same in the future, so it's important to check the current policies immediately before making an award reservation.
