So, you have what, like 200 OnePass miles? Maybe that's why you can't find the award you're looking for.

I tried about 10 different vacation destinations at 5 different times of the year and in every single case, i would have to use double air miles on at least one of the two legs- often on both- on a couple of the trips there were no tickets available even using double airmiles- for several of the trips such as to tel aviv and zurich there were no tickets using standard air miles for months on end-
This I can appreciate. CO is an industry leader in award stinginess.

continental are a disgrace- i am cancelling my membership at once
That'll teach them a lesson!
