Tips on booking Airmiles flights

bylromarha

I can never get what I want.

Have been browsing now for over 18 months - currently trying to book flights for NEXT summer and not a bean to anywhere in Southeast Asia during school summer holidays. I suppose some dates have not yet been released, but can't get anything for 22nd July 2012 week, which are on the system.

How do you do it?! :wall:

is this airmiles.co.uk or an airline program. Where in SE Asia? there are flights showing for London to Hong Kong available but not many SE Asia destinations

Next summer ? You mean during the Olympics ? You are highly unlikely to get an airmiles ticket (Airmiles the company, or mileage redemption with any FF programme), as airlines won't release them because they know they can sell them for cash.

I appreciate you are trying to leave London rather than get to London, but I'd assume the issue is the same.

The reality is that all airline programmes are intended to fill seats that would otherwise be empty, not to offer whatever the collector wants. Seats are normally loaded around 330 days in advance but 'free' seats are thin on the ground or non existant on flights where demand is expected to fill the plane anyway. Looking for seats in late July any year is usually hopeless but for next year, BA being the official Olympic carrier, I would have thought the chances are nil. The only hope is that the rest of the world sees Britain at its best this week and decides not to come, otherwise like many others, I will be booking a flight out of London, paid for of course, to get away from the madness

Hello

Have you tried giving them a call to see if it is just that the website has not been updated yet? I have spent my airmiles on flights and ferries on a number of occasions and the customer service team have been really helpful on every occasion.
