Another observation: their website booking tool shows LX availability when neither ANA, nor Aeroplan show any. I think this may be phantom. Someone reported that it books, looks fine at first, but then turn out the LX segments are "waitlisted" and not actually confirmed.
flyinstyle, did you check whether those LX flights had been available on ANA or Aeroplan before you booked? Try calling LX and ask them whether you are confirmed for the flights. Let us know!

Was this last minute? Did ANA or Aeroplan show inventory? I wonder if LX is blocking on their side using a blacklist and they haven't added AV/TA to the list yet.

I've read the "last few pages" but I'm not sure if my question has been addressed.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
Just to clarify, I'm asking about how the booking fee is calculated and whether it is possible to book a stopover on a one way ticket.

You can book a stopover but not online only via a call centre, try TACA US call centre and it is unclear whether 2 sectors are then charged

I just called Avianca to booked a ticket in mixed cabin of coach and business. The agent told me that they could not do it. Did people have any luck with Taca?

yes. He did. He was basically guided by a "supervisor" who speaks Spanish only. I was told they could not mix cabin classes.

I don't suppose you were advised of what the booking fee through the call centre would be? What was your route?

Completed a purchase of miles and made a booking. Have the confirmation from life miles, can pull up the booking on cmt and also see an LX pnr. How do I know whether this has been ticketed yet? When pulling up the reservation on LX it says there's no eticket and to proceed to check in, but could that be because it's issued by another airline?
