Hold award booking
I am currently holding an award booking at LX which costs 201,000 miles. Since my account currently has around 149,000 miles, I cannot complete the booking since I am 2000 miles short (incl. 50,000 miles overdraft).
The hold is valid until Sunday, but I am afraid I won't have the 2,000 miles by that day. I am waiting for a credit which I can only retroclaim next Wednesday and I will travel again next Monday (worth around 30,000 miles) I don't want to loose my hold booking as these are the last seats available (4 persons in C for travel end of the year). So my questions: - is there any way that I can quickly get 2,000 miles extra in my account? I can transfer from almost every hotel program, but this will almost surely take more time - will they allow a one-time extension of the hold period? FWIW: I am holding SEN status for 6 years and earn around 150,000 miles/year |

I called the SEN line today (hold is valid until tomorrow), but they claimed they canot extend the hold time. This means the hold will cancel on Monday and I will have the necessary miles on Tuesday... We're not sure if the seats will become available again... Very unfortunate timing.
