Urgent DFW-HYD award ticket help needed
 
Can any one find me an award ticket DFW-HYD for a family emergency?
leaving 26th or 27th and returning on 7th. Flexible by a day or two on either sides.
Economy, business or first is OK. I have more than 200K miles each in Delta, AA, BA and US and 90K+90K in UA.

Thanks

Sorry for whatever emergency you are facing.

This looks like a real challenge. You may wish to post this request in a different forum. Good luck.

sorry for your emergency, whatever it is. quick search on ua.com shows seats to BOM 26th and 27th in biz US-US-LH. return on 9th in first.
if you want to fly to HYD direct on BA..you'll have to leave 28th.(plus their ridiculous surcharges).

I suggest that you just call AA and ask. In addition to BA -- which will have very high surcharges -- AA partners CX, EY, and 9W serve HYD, but aa.com will not show award-seat availability on any of those carriers.

Note that if you wish to use CX (which appears to fly between HKG and HYD only four days a week), it would be least expensive to use a distance-based oneworld Explorer award, which would require you to include a second oneworld partner (like JL) on the award. If this option interests you, make sure that the AA agent with whom you speak is asked to check routings via the Pacific, as AA's one-way awards between the U.S. and India do not permit routings via the Pacific.

Thanks all. I got to BOM on UA/LH in F/C and bought a separate BOM-Hyd revenue ticket and in airport now.
