Is there a place where one can check whether an unreconstructed fare is offered by a given airline for a city pair so as to be able to have a complex multi airline ticket issued under one award? Eg., will KL offer a fare for PPT-AMM where it is the principal carrier PPT[TN]AKL[KL]KUL[KL]BKK[RJ]AMM so it could be ticketed on a single South Pacific to Middle East award? Finding this out in advance could save considerable time on pointless calls with AAdvantage agents.

If I take a voluntary downgrade from J to PE on a partner award segment (in my case, CX), am I automatically waitlisted to be upgraded to J at the gate? I'd obviously routinely check if space opens up, but if nothing opens up until at the gate, am I waitlisted? Or should I take to the gate agent and explain the situation? Or am I SOL?

The only way to get moved into business is if U class opens up. there is no point asking CX agents to give you a free upgrade ( CX is only being paid based on class ticketed regardless of what you pay AA )

An EF alert will be of great help, though not a substitute for obsessively checking all the time yourself.

I tried to do a search and couldnt find the answer.
Now that Canada is a separate region; from the US can I still do SEA-YVR-HKG if there is a published CX fare?
- Is this possible or would it be transiting thru a 3rd region and invalid?
- If it is possible then would it be US-->Asia 2 or Canada-->Asia 2 pricing?

Award Routing Question
Hi All
Hoping for some insight here.
Trying to book an award from BOS-MLE.
I'm flying BOS-DOH in biz on QR, however I'm running into issues with the DOH - MLE leg
Am I able to book BOS-DOH and then AUH-MLE on one award ticket?
I would book a cheap avois award separately from DOH to AUH
Appreciate the help
