Booking mixed cabin awards
 
Is it possible to book mixed cabin awards on the web?
First leg business long haul, second leg only offers economy. If I choose Business booking, the award search shows as no flight available. The first leg is available in Business, and the second leg is available in Economy, just need a way to book the mixed cabins and pay the full Business class award miles price.

1. I believe you can only book mix class by calling.
2. You will not be deducted the full business award mileage requirement. It will be prorated.

I believe you can call in to do this, but I've also booked 2 one way tickets to work around your problem on the website.

I did a mixed class booking via online back in March for travel during CNY 2020. Routing was CX HKG-FCO in Business. Then return was BA FCO-LHR in business, with a less-than-24-hour transit, and then CX LHR-HKG in First.

Miles deducted was 169,700.

Wouldn't that cost more miles?

Did you select First and then, as F is not available on the first two flights, Business option was given?

Yes, exactly.

Good strategy. Unfortunately, this probably doesn't work for OP unless the short-haul flight doesn't have a business class.
