"Like Maddog, my in-laws have never had a problem booking awards - but they book everything (especially Hawaii) 11 months out. Some FTers complain about not getting seats, but they aren't willing to plan far enough ahead. If you want flexibility, you've got to pay cash. If you want the award, you have to book as far out as possible".


Why do I HAVE to pay cash if I want the crazy flexability of not having to book nearly a year in advance? How about the airlines making miles meaningful by actually having more award seats available? I think you are cutting the airlines way too much slack on this issue.
