Hello,
Does anyone know if it is even possible to book flights from Sydney to Lord Howe Island using points? I am flexible with dates so have tried different days of the week, different weeks, different months for the next year - I get nada. Have they just made this impossible because the number of points required is so little compared to the price of the airfares?
Thanks!
Great question, I have been looking into this myself for a possible trip at the beginning of summer later in 2016.
What I’ve seen is that there a maximum of 2 seats available on any given day (if any).
The seats that are available at this point (last time I looked was a week ago) were up to mid-August. After that there is nothing.
This obviously coincides with the off-peak travel season. However… that’s not to say that awards won’t open up closer to departure, so I’m monitoring availability on a regular basis to see what the trend is.
Thanks Keith. You’ve done better than I have; I can’t see any seats whatsoever. Assuming you are not going to use them, can you give me the dates where 2 seats popped up for you, just so I can see if they do for me too?
