I once was on a flight MNL-BKK-KHI-FRA-LGW, and it was all one coupon because it was the same flight with the same flight number.

Married segments is when you have two separate flights that have availability on their own, but which cannot be booked together. Say that you're trying to book LH LHR-FRA-BKK. The flight LHR-FRA has availability, and the flight FRA-BKK has availability, but when you try to add both flights to the same booking, it says that there's no availability. But even with availability, married segments would still count as two segments for Aegean award purposes.
Thanks for the explanation, I got it wrong all these years!

Nope - no problems at all.I see many connections from Europe to Near East and Asia via IST. To be honest I almost wish they DIDN'T show up - the fees are HUGE.

I'm looking for availabilty in May for GRU>ZRH>BEG. United says there are flexible awards seats, but none at A3's website. The closest I can get is a few GRU>ZRH dates. Are these seats not available for M+B members or would one have to call them in order to book them? Any info is much appreciated.

I think A3 only sees United availability if it is in the Saver Award category. In any case, you cannot book it online, but have to call in.

Every *A award program besides Mileage Plus has only access to the normal awards (=saver awards).

Sorry, my bad, I wrote "flex", but I meant there are, indeed, "saver" fares are available at United.com. And flight is on LX.

But GRU-ZRH-BEG should be on LX, in which case it should show up.

First time trying to get reward tickets.
So I found my flights from united.com which are thai airways from ICN to BKK, but it doesnt show up in aegean's search system. I wonder if I can still call them to book the flight or it's just they don't offer that flight?
Thanks.

Just an observation, the majority of posters on this thread all seem to be newbies.

Seems like more people are interested after A3 implemented the online booking function

No you can not, that means the seat is being block. TG released the seat to UA but not A3.

Any mix award with A3/OA + *A will require to call in as well such as YYZ-ATH-HER (AC/A3)
