Need help checking On Business Availability
Hi, if anyone is able to look at On-Business availability and tax/charges costs for a couple of itineraries, could they drop me a quick PM?
Looking at options for a conference attendance and a bit short of travel budget, but I can't directly view OB as it's dealt with at a corporate level. I want to see if my proposal is viable before making it.
Thanks!

Happy to help as well if required. Would be happy to have an excuse to burrow around a little more in my OB account.

Possibly should retitle this thread "how I learned to love On Business redemptions". This is a trip to an East Coast conference I really want to get to, but the cash prices were very difficult to justify. Eventually found a LHR->PHL BOS->LHR open jaw which worked in Y for £650 but it required a Saturday night.
So did some work figuring out On Business and eventually determined I could get a redemption without the Saturday night stay very inexpensively. Result is that I can go to the ball and everyone is happy. I used to hate OB because I needed the points for status, but it works very well for me in the situation I'm in, and I'm on BA with a vague chance of upgrades.
