Am I missing something here !!
 

Below is the cost f award flights from KLM. Is it not somewhat on the border of being fraudulant to sell something that does not exist.

The point I am making, I would be sevrely peeved if I used my hard earned miles to buy a business class seat to find they dont exist, but not to worry as I would get bonus miles and a beer ????

If I pay for something and get a sub standard product, then surely this is a breach of advertsing codes.

Ok, some flights will have Europe Select and others just a Y-cabin, none of them will have C-class.
BUT on a BIG upside, because Humberside is listed under discounted award between Ams-Huy, this actually means that all flights to and from Huy within Europe are 50% off. So I'm bloody well excited! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Wow! The new list also includes 50% off economy award tickets to JFK, IAD and SFO until 15/03/2004.

Not sure I understand - so (e.g) if I wanted to book HUY (which is a great little airport - loved my first trip through it!)-Prague, then the whole trip would be 50% off, or only HUY-AMS, with AMS-Prague at normal price?

And the site is showing a discount of 6250 miles - not 50%. So looks like total discount would be 6250 miles off the trip.

My point was they are trying to sell business class tickets on flights with no biz class facility

The discount is per one-way journey so
actually it works out the same. HUY-AMS-PRG return for 12500 miles (either 25000/2 or 25000-6250-6250).

Or HUY-AMS-SFO return for 25,000 miles. As a PE that is essentially a "buy 1 get 1 free" offer. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Oooh, I see now. Gosh, I'm slow today http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif V nice offer!

Steve, not ignoring your original comment, you are entirely right about the extra miles of Europe Select on a service which doesn't offer it. I suppose their justification would be that they sell tickets in ES on that route, so of course they can offer ES seats. Would a reward ticket booked in ES have the same flexibility that a paid for ticket would have?

I notice that MAN isn't included and that has recently started two 737 flights a day with "full" ES on them.
