The wife will have 2 Awards and so will I, what are the chances we snag 4 seats one one flight?

I booked 4 on the same April flight, and I just changed the itinerary last night to another flight. No problem on either. Just like a regular ticket, you can see availability up to 8 tickets. Also, just like any other fare, there may be 0, 1, 2, or 8 or more seats available - just depends.

2 very often, 1 +CP for a year, 3 a couple times when needed and 4 upcoming in June, the most ever needed. If you are looking to book multiple awards two things to keep in mind.

1. Book when the window opens.

2. Be flexible on when you fly.

If you follow both of these suggestions, you should have very high levels of success.
