No more LH F on cash + points awards?
I have heard from several ICC agents today that LH F is no longer allowed to be booked using cash and points.
Has anyone else heard this?

Given how few European * Alliance carriers even have a first class cabin, this kind of policy would eliminate a huge slice of first class cash+mile award space for travel to/from Europe.

Looks like this needs a word from Joanna !
Before the speculations become too much someone should contact BMI... I was actually planning to redeem for an F ticket next week.
It was especially an advantage because the F awards were nearly always available while X (who wants that anyways) and I are mostly gone

I don't believe it for a second. Why would BD restrict LH F to miles only awards ?
Sounds more like the ICC Game of the Day. Number of customers fobbed off with 'no C&M' nonsense, by 20:00, wins !
I wonder what the sweepstake pot is at the end of the shift ?
Todays game will be 'Put them on hold, wait five minutes, and cut them off'

But it really doesnt make sense. If LH then all F awards as it is no different than TG, SQ, UA, NH amd whatever F ticketing.
Game of the day tomorrow: I tell you to issue your ticket, but dont do it ! @:-)
Well, this game gets old with the time...

Anyone else who is competent ?
Calling the ICC is out of question from the start on
