Needing Some Random Help!
Hello FT Guru's!
I do more lurking on here than contributing and over the years you have been very helpful and very useful...What I need now may seem crazy and I suspect there will be a number of you on here assuming that I'm off my rocker but here it goes...
I'm planning on popping the question to my girlfriend of 4 years but I'm going to send her on a bit of a goose chase first (starting in Glasgow, going around the west of Scotland for a day picking up clues and items for a picnic, then off to Brussels before jumping on a flight to YVR where we have our picnic and I ask the question). So here's where I need the help:
1) I was hoping the final clue would be delivered to her by an AC flight (J) attendant prior to landing in YVR. Is this a request best run through one of the Ben's or is there a specific email box I should be looking to run this through?
2) I have enough points to fly her parents from GLA/EDI - YVR but even at just under a year out I can't seem to find a reasonable flight (something that isn't 20 - 28hrs in length! Am I best waiting to book those flights once AC/Rouge have confirmed their S16 schedule or should I phone in and request these flights specifically?
- Rouge Premium economy long haul, am I fight in saying that this will be similar enough to TS premium economy service?
My status will be Silver/35K (will be crossing the 35k threshold next month). I'm not sure if that will give me any additional leverage/leg up on booking those reward bookings? Any additional thoughts/suggestions etc.
Thanks,
YXXMIKE

Welcome 
If you want her to say yes, don't put her on Rouge.
If you hate your mother in law, by all means, put her on Rouge
There is no such thing as phoning in and requesting, when phoning in, you need to know exactly what you want
Common tool for availability is United.com, just look for the blue saver awards
Your status will be of no use/relevance.
As for #1, you'd have to arrange that with the crew onboard, but don't be surprised if they don't participate.

Thanks for the help ranourabu; I'll check the United website for the reward flights...it's for her parents so I'm hoping Rouge Premium will do the trick...hoping! The plan is for a J flight to YVR from BRU for the better half.
