OZ (Asiana) award booking experiences, blackout dates. seat assignments, ...
I redeemed United miles for a trip on Asiana.
Does anyone know if you can pick your seat on Asiana even though you got the ticket through United as an award? I'm United Gold, the ticket is economy. I have no status with Asiana. If yes, when can I pick the seat? 24hr before flight? at checkin? |

am in a similar boat - i booked an award business ticket for May of 2016. the online system didn't seem to allow me to reserve seats.
when i called Asiana and gave them their specific locator number, they said because it was too far in advance to book seats and to try calling back in about a month or so. they seemed quite nice about it, so will check again in a few weeks (both online and via phone). |

I just did it for a reservation in Biz next Feb, but I had to call UA to get the Asiana locator number because it didn't show up. Once I got it I was able to use the link mentioned in this wiki:

*A partner award availability
I was able to book a saver award on OZ biz from JFK to ICN for December. I would like to connect to the flight a few hours later Asiana has to MNL from ICN. UA Agent told me that this flight does not show up for them to book, even on other days.
Is this correct, and it's never going to be bookable, or can I push them to book it for me within the same ticket? |
They can only book you on it if there is award space open. And OZ controls that. If there's no award space then UA cannot do anything to make it show up.
If the award space shows up the agents should be able to change your existing award (subject to fees based on your status at the time the change happens) but until that time there's nothing to "push" the agents on. |
chris period not av on oz for ua awards-oz dont allow summer period either

Sorry, but no amount of HUACA is likely to work in this case. :( |

That's correct - I have the ticket to ICN booked for the 25th - just wanted to add a leg.

The OP already has JFK-ICN booked for the desired date so those blackout dates are not so strict, it would seem. @:-)
From the Americas, the blackout ends 12/23. Asiana Award Chart. UA gets it wrong again!

So, you can go to ICN on OZ between Christmas and New Year's, but you can't go to MNL (the destination I used for the first dummy booking I posted, fare CSM/AB73). It appears that someone at UA combined the two blackout date categories, since one of your OZ flights would be departing from the Americas and one would not. I have no idea whether or not that was Asiana's intention, but that's what UA did. |

Air Asia has a flight MNL-ICN and Cebu Pacific also - So those might be worth a look.

You should probably highlight the 2015 rules since that's what's being discussed. @:-) ;)
