Had no problems with booking a few months in advance last year for my birthday award booking, with a generous ticketing deadline.
Have rules changed then? I've searched on the forum and have seen a thread some time in July 07 saying that bookings have been made by others at least a couple of months in advance, although this was earlier in the year (January 07 for a booking in April 07).
If anyone has experience to draw from birthday award bookings made THIS year, perhaps in the later months, I would be most grateful if you could share them.
Thanks in advance!
ps: TG in BKK did suggest I try calling 'towards the end of October' to haggle a bit.
Hi, both 911 and 917 are very tight at the moment and everything around them is closing down so it doesn't look too good.
The rules have always been that we are allowed to book our BD one month before for travel in our BD month and the one after. TG did relax a little during 2006 and early 2007, but I know the flights are so full nowadays it back to playing it by the book.
Best of luck, if you persist, someone will relent, regard bkkrop
