I get pretty high success rates on my award bookings. For international tickets, I usually have to coach the reservation agents on alternate city pairs and partner airlines. Having school age children, my travel dates are fiexed. I usually get the dates and the routes I wanted. This summer is the first time I got only 2 out of 4 RT tickets to Asia with one-pass miles. I do enjoy the chase. I finally gave up when I realize that NW as selling UA tickets on one of the segements, a clear indication of full capacity for that segment.

How likely is it for Award Planner to get 2 more tickets for me in this situation?
