To JFK, I suggest splurging the extra $5 and getting the LIRR over the subway.

Yeah, sorry for the tone there. A bit of it was venting, but also trying to see if anybody has had any luck booking SN with AP recently or if anybody had talked to a supervisor to get through.
All in all, it's just frustrating to contact Brussels Airlines and have this reply:
"I just checked and saw that we already have the flight SN551 scheduled even up to August 2019."
- I know, but none of your seats are visible for Aeroplan staff nor on their search engine. Is this something you or a colleague can look at? Thank you
- There might be limited space given for bookings with Aeroplan. Regards.
Wow, thanks! Don't hit me with that limited space when you have 0 seat for a whole year (in Y, BTW). That's not limited, that's inexistant.
I have a miniRTW booking right now, but we need to change the return leg (from ATH). Target was to do ATH-VIE on July 9th (A3), VIE-BRU on July 10 (SN, still bookable) and then BRU-YYZ on July 11 (SN). With the time of the flights, this would give us 2 x 23:30 layovers; absolutely perfect. Looking at other options right now to do ATH-CITY1-CITY2-YYZ/YUL-YOW. Ideally, we'd avoid the USA on this return flight, but if necessary, we could stop there, especially if we have a direct flight to YOW afterwards (don't want 2 stops in NA). I know the main options leaving from Europe are LIS, BRU, ZRH, WAW and CPH, but I'm not finding anything on most of these, no matter the date I look for (all in Y).

LO flies from BUD to JFK and ORD direct non-stop for anyone who doesn't know. And no, these are not fifth freedom flights; LO is simply building a base in Hungary.

trouble booking TAP
Hello Flyertalk gurus,
I think the Aeroplan site isn't working well. I'm having difficulty booking an award flight: YYZ-LIS-FCO on July 8th, 2019. I tried calling into the call centre and they're also unable to book.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

EVA not showing up on Aeroplan search for awards booking?
I know there were a few airlines what were not showing up on Aeroplan a few months back due to technical issues on Aeroplan's end, but at that time, EVA was not an issue. I've been searching for JFK--TPE as round trip as well as using TPE as one of the multicity destinations, but not seeing EVA showing on Aeroplan's search (April & May of 2019). Is EVA unbookable on Aeroplan now? Thanks for any insights.

All about Eva (BR); AP numbers recognized, earning & award info, seat assignment

Others will have their own experience but it shows up when it shows up. Either BR isn't releasing for the dates you are currently searching or the seats were taken already or it's an Aeroplan issue. You can call Aeroplan or you can keep checking the site.

I had been looking everyday trying to find a way back from Europe that would give me interesting layover times and once again, LOT flights have been removed from Aeroplan as of this morning (they were there yesterday afternoon). With no signs of the SN flight between BRU and YYZ, TAP seems to be the only no/low-YQ airline flying transatlantic with availability right now, with LX and TK having some as well. Really wonder where all of the UA, SK, SN and LOT seats have gone.

LX I've actually found very generous in business in available space - but Aeroplan will pull up AC/LH (where AC makes extra $$$) before pulling up LX

Westbound it was a different story. The agent was able to book it, but the TAP segments "disappeared" by next morning from the booking.
Also our son tried to have a westbound trip booked on TAP, but no success. The flights were visible on the web site, but the agent wasn't able to book them.
