Is it possible to redeem DL miles on WS (WestJet)? I'm looking at BOS-YHZ nonstop next summer, which is a flight that DL codeshares, but if I search for nonstop flights for the entire summer, the website tells me nothing is available. Is this something I can check by calling or can you not use DL miles on WS flights?

See, I was under the impression you could still have up to 8 companions in C+ if they are on your reservation. Thats the impression I get from these links. I used the companion pass for one traveler but was unable to use the companion pass and purchase tickets for two other people at the same time. Last year, I called up and they moved them to C+ with us since we couldn't use the pass and book extra people at the same time.

We each have a reserve card and have not had much trouble booking A fares FLL-ABQ-FLL in October and PBI-PHX-PBI in December.
I must admit that having airport flexibility helps quite a bit in being able to get these trips for the exact dates we needed.

On the next day, we got to thinking that since we had secured the LHR - JNB flight, maybe we could use some of the routings delta.com was showing on BOS - LHR. The agent was able pull up BOS - DTW - LHR on DL add put that in place of the non-stop BOS - LHR flight. That set my ticket, but left my friend with an extra segment (since he lives in Detroit). Finally, my friend called again and dropped the BOS - DTW segment on his ticket, leaving me with BOS - DTW and both of us DTW - LHR (DL) - JNB (VS) with no additional fees from the $54 charged online.
I'll also add that to drop the BOS-DTW segment on my ticket it had to be re-issued and the agent successfully fought the $150 fee that the computer tried to charge.

You might try calling, but I highly doubt that you'd get everyone on the same PNR.

Easier to Use Cert Now
Only the certs with the Amex Delta Reserve let you redeem for first class travel, so we picked short rt flights like SAN-LAX and SAN-(LAX)-OAK. Savings weren't much of course on these cheap routes, but it would bother me to forgo free medallion upgrades on a transcon.

Au contraire. When we have a long flight with a connection in ATL (eg. South Florida to PhX), neither of us is interested in taking any chances on two comp DM UGs for each of the four segments so we both save the certs from our Reserve cards for that sort of trip.
