Thanks for the explanation on booking LP rewards. In the member's guide it says that up to two LP participating airlines may be used on a LP flight award. Have you any info on this? I assume by participating airlines they mean any of their member airlines (vs partner airlines). I wonder then how this would be booked? Originating in Canada I have a feeling that I may need to use two airlines to get anywhere! In this case it may be necessary to deal directly with LP. I do agree with you that it's better to deal directly with the airline than going through LP as a third party. It's difficult enough as it is dealing directly so I can imagine how much of a pain the latter would be. I am surprised however that they would book the award reservation if you didn't have any miles with them. For example, with Aeroplan (AC) there's no way they would book you a reward if you didn't have the miles in your account. I am anxiously waiting for my millionaire status to kick in as I would love to return to Bogota by the fall.
