Please HELP! My flight to St Lucia (PHX -> UVF) not available!
I have already booked my hotel timeshare reservation in St Lucia for a week in July. I always thought if I have miles in flying blue that any airline in their alliance would be honored to use my flying blue points in, but I just got off the phone with them and they said that they don't have any flights within 5 days of my planned arrival even though I can see Delta is flying in there on the dates & times I want.
Is there anything I can do or am I just screwed and forced to pay $ for those flights?
Thanks in advance!

You can only use your miles if there are award seats available on those partner flight (Delta in this case) at the saver award level. Sounds like there isn't for your dates, so you're going to have to either pay cash or position to another airport where Delta does have availability from.

What are the specific dates you are looking for. People here may be able to help you look as it appears that you may not fully understand how this works.
For what it is worth, the same problem could occur with FB miles on AF. That is, there could be available space, but not allocated for an award redemption.
