It is advisable to make any redemption bookings as early as possible to ensure you have a greater chance of booking a seat on the flight of your choice. Obviously during holidays and busy periods, these seats are highly sought after and the choice may not be as wide as normal
Also, leaving redemption reservations to the last minute may result in late booking charges for some of our members.
- Redemption tickets are for a fixed flight and are not re-routable or endorsable. Open status tickets are not permitted.
- There is no limit to the number of changes a Frequent flyer can make to their bookings. However the specified fee applies to each change.
