finding saver seats
hi can anyone help me with some tips on how to find available saver seats as im trying to redeem my skywards miles into 4 tickets dubai paris from the 28 of july return 5 of august but i've been trying to book them since march and the people in skywards tell me its already fully booked or to get flex or wait until there is an opening is there any other way to find saver seats because they keep telling me to wait but if i cant find seats now what are the odds that i will find them later on please advise because i've heard there are ways to get saver seats as skywards always say its booked even if its not.

Are you using the online award booking engine? It shows you availability in any class for a 2 week period, so it should show you which days are available. Keep in mind that this is a busy period, and it is almost impossible for you to get 4 redemptions on the same flight. You may want to split your group in two. Hope that helps - some days are in fact available on the 773.

indeed im using the online booking service as well as calling skywards every couple of days but now i managed to find the outbound flight the inbound is the problem since even the flex is not available anymore.I'll try to book 2 flights at a time and see what happens maybe they dont give 4 seats to the same person ...
