I've been a loyal CO customer for years, and have banked approx. 275,000 CO miles. I have been a Silver Elite member for the past 4-5 years. I've been hoarding them for one reason and one reason only - to use them to fly first class to Europe for my honeymoon. So, I'm getting married in August and would like to fly from EWR to Milan. But Continental has not released any coach seats on their Milan flights, let alone any first class tickets. Any ideas? I am desperate for any suggestions you may have on how to convince CO to let me book something. If you have any thoughts, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks.
