Newbie question on Award flights
Trying to book one-way award ticket bos-zrh (direct), end of august. Both mileageplus and aeroplan show business class availability, but have strict preference for economy (flying with others who can only fly economy). It seems the economy flight shows available on the M&M booking site, but can't proceed further as I don't have enough miles. My questions:
1. Is the economy flights truly available on M&M? (I checked 30 and 31st).
2. any way to have the flight show up on mileageplus or aeroplan to book there?
3. if not, what would be the total miles (i assume 30k)? and fees for booking on m&m?

2. No idea whether these award seats will be released to partners.
3. 30K miles plus approx. USD 265 per person.

I don't think so. I am 1K, FWIW, I'm not sure about your status. On the other hand, as NewbieRunner said, it might be that LX just didn't release award seats on that flight to *A.
