Search for the flights on AA app or website. You’re looking for flights that are 22.5k miles non-stop. And it can’t be a “web special” which it will say when you click on the fare. If you find a fare that is 22.5k (not web special) you should be able to see it on Avios. If you’re flexible with dates you should be able to find something. I found quite a bit of availability about 4 months in advance.
Oops I learned something in the meantime.. sorry!
I don't have a lot of suggestions other than to keep watching your email. So youngest DD, DH and I all tried to be verified fans. Only DD got the presale code and I tried from her account while she was in school. Sat thru the whole TM debacle and thought maybe the resale market will calm down as things get closer. Then a couple of weeks ago, she got an email stating she had been chosen to try for tickets again. You had to select the amount you were willing to pay, there were about 5 ranges, and then they would be assigning tickets from that. I wasn't thrilled with it as it didn't show which sections corresponded to the price ranges but I knew she really wanted to go. I selected the mid-range thinking that we might get mid-range seats. We ended up in the 100 level section with pretty good seats for one of the nights in Atlanta. So keep watching your email, they may do more as the dates get closer. Not sure how these seats suddenly "became" available.
Oh! That's the part I was maybe missing.
I am clearly still doing something wrong somewhere!
we just got tickets yesterday, someone we know got an email with a second chance to get tickets, they shared their code with me and I was able to get tickets to the concert in 2 weeks.
The key is to find flights that are not “web specials.” I looked at those dates, and yes they are 22.5k, but those are web specials. AA is tricky like that. It’s tedious, but you have to click on all the 22.5k dates find the non-stop and click to see if it’s a web special or main cabin. If it says 22.5k and its main cabin it will be available with Avios. They are tricky to find, and August could be difficult. I found flights around late June and 4th of July when I was searching last month.
I've been looking for a path to Wynn - can you talk me through that? My plan is Wyndham - Ceasars; where is Wynn on the path you describe above? thanks!
I’m not sure exactly where to ask this question, but you all are typically the nicest bunch on the boards, so I figured I’d start here
I just went into the chase UR Portal (last night it kept timing out and I got frustrated and called it a night.) The DL tickets I could buy yesterday are not available today.
The only purchasing options say “Disneyland Resort Tickets- residents of New Zealand only.”
Do I reeeeally need to be a New Zealand resident to buy these? Would it work if my American self bought them and linked them to a DL account.
Side note- this is the second time that the UR Portal has done this to me. Last year with a Discovery Cove trip, and I’m just so frustrated.
DL tickets have actually been showing for a few weeks as an option. It’s actually what prompted me to book my entire DL trip. Now it’s gone, except for this NZ residents thing.
