I was trying to get a first class ticket award to micronesia, there is no one seat available in the whole next year........do they never release First seats?

I searched for tickets to Guam a couple weeks ago and there was a surprising amount of availability. Where are you flying from/to and what dates?

i looked for Palau, Turk and Majuro all the way to march next year for First, there was some for Economy (almost no standard just the expensive one though) neither for

Last October I made Micronesia F plans for travel in January (high season). (Including EWR-NRT in C)!

Mind you, I had to be a little creative. The HNL-GUM Island hopper showed no availability. But broken down ,it was available on all but one leg. SO we ticketed it as conections rather than a direct flight.

Where are you departing? Have you called - sometimes it is easier to find availability by calling the international rewards desk.

Award tickets out here are almost impossible to get on line. First the site does not recognize the date line very well and they do have limited seats. I've never been able to get first in an award, there's only about 10 seats in first and two are reserved for the spare captain (island hopper flies three pilots and one mechanic at all times) and the last reserved is given out towards the end.

If you're going Palau it's easier to go through Guam not on the island hopper. If you're looking at Majuro of Pohnpei or Chuuk then you're best off calling and calling early. When we use miles to go to the US we book almost a year in advance but we're going with 6 award seats.

Good luck, my best success is to call, leave all the data and let them call me back when they complete the task.

The problem you are running into is that the island hopper starts in Honolulu and then heads off to the Marshalls and to Guam. Its getting to Honolulu in first class that is the problem. The rest is not a problem. I'd suggest you call One Pass-- you might have to suck it up and do coach, at least one-way on the mainland to Honolulu leg.
