Forgive me if this is a stupid question, however I am planning on purchasing two round trip coach tickets as a wedding gift for honeymoon travel. I would like to use my companion certificate from amex for one of the tickets, and just purchase the other ticket (L,U,T fare as stated on the certificate) outright. Only problem is I will not be traveling on the itinerary. From what I read on the cerificate I dont see any rule stating that me the cardholder, would have to be on one of the pax on the itinerary to qualify for companion ticket usage? Is this correct or is this certificate only useful for when I actually fly with someone else? Thanks in advance.
