Using OnePass miles on OK
 
Disclaimer: I did a search and could not find anything.

Has anyone had any luck getting a standard reward for Intra-European flights with OK? The agent I spoke with said they hold the res for 24hrs to see if it will clear.

I am trying for a MUC-PRG-KRK run with OK. Just curious to see if fellow FTers have had luck using this partner.

No issues whatsoever. They don't have a live link, so they have 24 hours to reject the res (old school style). But shouldn't be a problem, if the agent sees it, it will likely be fine.

But, because of this, agents prefer to give you AF or KL flights since they can be confirmed immediately.

btw, intra-Europe, OK is better than AF or KL, IMO.

I had no problem putting some OK flights in my itinerary at one point, and I didn't have a 24 hour wait (or if I did they didn't tell me about it).

For those looking to search for OK inventory online I know that KVS will show it, as will SeatCounter. The fare classes are E for economy and Z for biz. When I saw E seats open the call center had no trouble booking them on my reward.

I had no problem getting OK (beyond a strange quirk in OnePass rules EasyPass/Standard) on a much bigger ticket.

They were a good airline, good service. Planes were fine, the food looked like it was decent, I was so zonked out by my PRG-TLV flight I slept the whole time and missed the meal, but the description on the menu was nice, and they provided a little amenity kit. The lounge was cool.
OK is OK!

Thank you all for your reassuring replies.

FWIW: I called this morning and everything is indeed all set and now ticketed:D

BIO-TXL (via CGD on AF) MUC-KRK (via PRG on OK) KRK-FCO (via PRG on OK)

all for the standard 25,000miles ^ so I am happy considering what the cost was going to be to fly these routes (even on the discount airlines it was getting pricey)

How did you do it? The itinerary has two open jaws. I thought only one open jaw is allowed.

VERY true! I took OK for the first time in July 07 LHR-PRG in Business. I can't compare the Y products, but business on OK was amazing! Meal service similar to a mid-con dinner flight on CO, but the service was outstanding (I did this flight 4 times, and it was like this all 4 times).

The shining star with OK is their non-Schengen lounge at PRG, one of the best lounges I have ever been in! Enjoy OK, okay?

Well, I am puzzled too....Double open jaw with a stopover that isn't even "along the most direct route"
Well, I hope the OP enjoys the trip--it sounds fun!
