How much longer can I wait?
I have frequent flyer miles and want to get a ticket for the first
week of September. I will be attending a wedding on Sep 6 (Saturday), but I am also considering visiting a friend prior to that, which would make it a multi-stop trip. It would also be on Labor Day weekend. But right now my friend does not know if he will be in town that weekend. How much longer can I wait to buy my ticket, before those seats reserved for FF mile rewards run out? |

How much longer can I wait to buy my ticket, before those :seats reserved for FF mile rewards run out? They "4run out" six+ months in advance, as yield management releases the token seats for the popular flights. As you get closer, seats open up when yield management sees emptier flights. So it depends on the exact route. As a side point, I have not found a way to do an open-jaw or multi-stop FF for the price of a single round trip. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
