AP award search - does availability calendar lie ?
A friend and I are planning a trip to South America this fall, and he would like to use AP miles for his flight.
When I do a search on the AP website for an award ticket from YQR to SCL the availability calendar shows ClassicFlight availability in Business class for a number of date combinations in November, ie. outbound Nov. 6th, return Nov. 21st.
However when I click "View Flights" the only options it comes back with are ClassicPlus tickets starting at 132,500 for Economy and heading rapidly upward from there.
Am I interpreting the information provided the availability calendar incorrectly? Or is this a problem with the AP website?
I realize we will probably have to phone the AP call centre but I wanted to have as much information as possible in advance of the call.
Thanks very much for any wisdom you may be able to provide.
