Hello,
I am considering a trip to the Carribean Netherlands at the end of 2018, and I am wondering if I could do it with miles.
Unfortunately I don't have enough miles (yet) to check the availability of such a trip.
Could someone with enough miles kindly help?
Thanks

CUR isn't possible to redeem in the online booking. ZRH-YYZ is. Oct 17 has no availability, many other days has (not on AC though). YYZ-ZRH OCT26 is available on AC878.

Thanks a lot!!
A shame CUR is not bookable. It looked like a nice sweet spot in the North America region.
Is there any nearby destination bookable?
Aruba, Bonaire? Or, worst case scenario, Tocumen?
I want to avoid transiting by the US.
Thanks again!

You could check PTY IST-(BOG)-PTY counts as one Segment flown by TK. So ZRH-IST-PTY would work.

But remember that Panama is in the Central and South America region, so 110,000 miles in C from Europe, while the Caribbean islands are in North America, so 90,000 miles in C from Europe.

Maybe because CUR is not served by any of the regular Star Alliance carriers?
A quick search tells me CUR is served by TAP (Operated by EUROATLANTIC Airways) twice a week and by Air Canada (Operated by Air Canada Rouge) once a week from YUL and twice a week from YYZ.
Just my 2 cents.

Required minimum miles shown in overview are incorrect
Hey, did it happen to anyone else that the minimum miles required shown in the overview are crazy high, but when you click on the date, there are good connections with much less miles required?
See screenshot attached.
If you then don't have 200,000 miles on your account, you cannot even click on the dates and select the option with less miles for a return flight (even though you'd actually need 25,000 for the flights). Or am I doing something wrong?
PS: seems like I can't get the screenshot to show. It's a Cotonou to Djibouti flight on the 22 June. The overview says minimum 95,000 miles required, but when clicking on it, the first option is a connection with Ethiopian for 12,500 miles.
