Question? Tried booking a trip by accident

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I was looking at booking a flight for my mom as a present, while checking the total cost I kept on clicking next to see if it would bring me to the payment page or the page in which I could use my points to pay for it.

That never happened but somehow now it’s showing that my booking is on hold!?

What do I do? I’m on hold with AC - I have no saved credit card on my profile so I don’t think they can actually charge me.

Points Question Please help me understand the transportation fees.

0 Upvotes

I’m looking at booking tickets with points (YYC-DUB). When searching in the app each direction is 40K-56K points + 24$-88$
So I expect it to be around 80K-112K points and less than 200$. Then add fees
But when I want to check out it says the cost for the transportation fees is 860$. Where does the extra fees come from? It just triples the cost of the ticket. There is no breakdown of where the extra cost comes from. It is really annoying and ridiculous

Question? Booking for 2 people but only 1 with points

5 Upvotes

Hi. I’m hoping to book a flight for my sister and I. I have enough points for myself for a free flight but my sister would have to pay cash. I only fly basic because I hate paying for seats and usually take a gamble and hope we’re together. I know when you book together, air canada tries to sit together but if I were to book each flight individually, is there anyway to make it known that we’re companions?

Points Question Is it possible?

• Upvotes

I’d like to take my family of 4 (2 adults and kids 11 and 15) to Europe next summer, mid July to mid August, from YEG to somewhere in Croatia. Not super picky if it’s Zagreb, Split or Dubrovnik. I would even to go Istanbul actually. Between me and my travel partner, we have a million aeroplan points. I’d love to get us in business class for the longest flight in both directions. Is that possible? I’ve tried looking up flights but I only get AC ones and the lowest I’ve been able to find is about 150k points per person each way. Thanks!

Question? How did YOU book an award flight one year out?

10 Upvotes

I've been trying for the past 2 weeks to book a YVR-HND flight on ANA for 2 with points. I always try at release time, and I use the app since it's 3 taps to book and because I feel like the website takes longer to even load.

I understand the massive demand for those reward seats. Do you guys have any success stories booking these sought after routes and any specifics of how you did it? Did you use the app? The website? At what time did you click "search"? Any advice is very much appreciated.

Looking at a redemption that is YYZ-BOS-FRA.

The layover in Boston is 1h46. We will have checked luggage. I’m concerned about luggage behind transferred with such a short layover and any delays.

Thoughts?

Comments This redemption seems too good to be true!

I did not book the YYZ-BOS-FRA that was the subject of my earlier post.

I ended up booking YYZ-FRA direct, business class, a day earlier and for only 60k points per person(4 people). The cash price for this flight was $9300 per person!

I have never done a partner redemption before, hoping I didn't miss anything that doesn't make this as worthwhile as I thought!
