For those CPlus members who are currently Club status: you'd better get those upcoming awards quickly because as of Mar 1 no waitlisting for award seating will be allowed for Club members.
Some agents are even trying to enforce this rule as myself and a friend (who is a lowly Club
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif) found out when we tried to book him and his mother Y seats from YYC-YYJ in early Mar and were told the same two things by three agents:
1) most "shuttle flights are now AC so no seats left" or " 11 am oversold, 1 pm full, 2 pm full" - totally false! - the only "problem" the agents seem to be having with the new schedule is that both AC and CP flights appear in the CP timetable which is confusing for FFs not to mention some CPlus agents.
2) award waitlisting as a Club member now comes with a huge catch: only the member can be waitlisted - no one else - meaning that if you are travelling with Aunt Mabel for a weekend together, she can't go with you but will have to fly WestJet!! This rule was news to both of us as we have had no problems before (as little as two months ago)with waitlisting and have always been successful, even if it took a few days to come back confirmed.
Thank God I'm Gold.

Has anyone else experienced difficulties and frustration with the CPlus agents lately with booking awards or making enquiries?
