I did a search and I did check flyertalk, but can not find information I need without shifting though years of posts.
Flight dates are Feb. 21 depart and Feb. 28 return
Feb. 21 opens up March 27 so I am trying to do the research for them
My baby brother who is military and his wife and their 4 children are wanting to use their FF miles on AA for a flight to Cancun. He has never been able to use his miles as he always tries too late after the dates 331 days prior open to book. Because he is military it has been hard to make a plan that far out. This year they decided that they wanted to take the kids to Playa Del Carmen in Feb. 2015 and want to set it in stone.
I will be providing the timeshare resort and other family and friends will also be there at the same time. We have traveled to the same resort for many years. The location or resort is not in question this is totally a miles question/issue.
He has an AA account and so does his wife and I am also willing to contribute 35,000 miles to the family vaca.
What is the best way to approach?
I think with the 3 accounts we have enough miles for 6 one-ways if we get the 17,500 saver seats. Then they will purchase return airfare.
Should we call AA or try to book online? If we book online what time is best.
Thanks everyone for any useful tips or advice.
