Looks like Rev Mgmt is cracking down in these routings ....
I got a great WP agent on the phone the other night and I was able to walk her thru flights with open award seats from US>MEX(via KLM)>EUR>AFRICA - but it wouldn't price out ...
WP agent got supervisors involved and they finally came back and said it wasn't allowed anymore. Kinda a bummer since the leg from MEX>AMS on KLM was in WBC ...
In the end they found seats on NW metal & partner thru MSP-AMS-to final destination in the Africa region for a standard WP coach award of 90k per seat.
Don't want to post too much info so g/f doesn't stumble across my posting and find out about suprose trip!
