Need a United travel expert to diagnose an awards travel problem. Trying to book FLR to DEN, and I see a 1 stop option through FRA operated by Lufthansa/Air Dolomiti and then United. But when I search for the same flight using miles, it doesn’t show up. Is this because it’s not eligible for rewards travel? Or do I need to call an agent to book this flight with miles?

Not all flights are eligible for points bookings. You can try calling though, it doesn’t hurt

smart

Not sure if this would apply, but for Delta, some partner flights don’t show up on the app. I have to book them thru the website.

Not the case with Lufthansa group airlines, including Air Dolomiti

Use points.me to (a) find availablity and (b) tell you exactly how to book it.

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area.

Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??
