Miles deducted for Award Booking
Dear FTs,
what is your experience for the deduction of miles for an award booking?
I did my booking in Dec 07 - Travel is in Aug 08 - but the miles are still on my account.
Thanks for any of your experiences,
August

With all my award bookings miles normally got deducted within 3 days of ticketing.

When they issue a ticket, the deduction of miles will be also done at this time. Do you have a ticket number in the reservation already ?

) or I would get worried that my booking isn't ticketed properly. So maybe go to checkmytrip and see if you actually have a ticket number in your booking.

You will be fine since you have a reservation, but you will only fly if you sort this out before departure. They probably also haven't charged you for taxes and charges?
I suggest you call now to get the ticket issued since the fuel surcharge will go up on Thursday.

Some airlines even auto-cancel unticketed reservations at a certain point in time - SQ is famous for this ...

At least calling and getting the numbers is the absolute minimum the OP can do as without them, the airline will show no intent to carry them anywhere.
