I'm not asking anyone here to buy me 2 tickets using their miles, but out of curiosity, who would do that?
Great way of dumping unuseable AP miles. But alas I'm only an E. |

In Central Canada, which are some of the most reputable and busiest travel agencies which act as consolidators (especially for business class tickets from Canada to Europe) that the FT participants can recommend? |
I meant that my dad does an MR to YYZ or somewhere like that, and get the miles that he needs to get prestige status. Then he could upgrade to LHR from an M fare. Getting from LHR - AMS is something my parents don't really care what airline they fly. YVR - LHR is what they want J for.

When did the concern about paying high fares for J tickets kick in? What were the YVR-YYZ R/T J fares about, oh, say a year ago? Simon |
well if you say buying SWU's off ebay, then I would think that trading them is also not legal.

This certificate cannot be sold [...] and is void if altered or sold. |
Well is trading it not technically selling it as well, except instead of currency you're giving something else.

Quick question...
If you're always right/know the answer to a question, why oh why oh why do you feel the need to waste your time posting here? You may well recall this URL from a few months back - http://www.trials-shack.co.uk/posting.html - persoanlly I think it should be mandatory for all FTers...* You know as well as the rest of us that buying an AC upgrade voucher from a member with cash is a violation of the rules. Your infantile claims that Well is trading it not technically selling it as well, except instead of currency you're giving something else. * I believe because I don't point the finger and suggest a specific user looks at this, this isn't a viloation of the ToS - please correct me if i'm wrong. |

Speaking of legalities of fqtv points, i just read this on another forum.
UNITED RIP-OFF: FREQUENT-FLIER MILES VANISH It took a decade for one Traveller to earn more than two-million frequent-flier miles on United Airlines. It took a single dispute over a ticket refund for him to lose his elite status, dozens of flight coupons and even every last mile he had collected. How did the man, a technology consultant from Jacksonville, Florida, get all of his points confiscated? Like an increasing number of frequent fliers, a majority of them business Travellers, his mileage account was subjected to a secret audit by his airline. He says he learned of the review only when he checked in for a recent flight to Buenos Aires. 'I was ambushed,' he said. 'I was about to board the flight when a United Airlines supervisor at the gate said, 'We have something for you.' He handed me a letter that said I had been stripped of my status and miles as the result of an audit.' He phoned a friend at United to find out what had happened. The employee retrieved his electronic flight record, which was even more damning than the letter. It claimed he had improperly used a denied-boarding certificate as partial payment for his ticket. It instructed United Airlines representatives to confiscate all of his flight upgrade coupons, discount vouchers and free tickets, and to collect an additional USD$977 for the flight to Chile, which included a USD$377 change fee and USD$600 for the use of 'bogus denied-boarding certificates.' United acknowledged that it had removed the Traveller from its rewards program, but declined to discuss the particulars of his audit, 'out of respect for his privacy.' |

Hey Shore9, why don't they just buy a T class BA ticket.... restrictive fare in World Traveller Plus. Something like $1400.00 + taxes to LHR from YVR. Look it up on BA.com |
