yeah i know that there are ALOT of restrictions but your attempted reservation is a while away and as you said there are alot of open seats so there shouldn't be a problem,
There would be a problem if a particular flight is a hot bed for frequent flyers to use their miles to upgrade or obtain first class seats. Vidalia, your trying to book a flight to Hawaii!! Even that far in advance the mileage seats are probably all gone. That's not the airline's fault the place is such a hot tourist spot. Continental only has one flight a day and if your trying to book it for a weekend, it's even worse. So you can either buy coach seats and use your miles for an upgrade for the day you arrive, use your miles for coach seats with an upgrade option, or if you really must have first class seats, just buy em.

I mean come on you don't think you're the only one who thought of booking a ticket in advance using miles? I've got first class tickets all set for another Vegas flight in 3 months. If a direct route isn't available, try a connection through Los Angeles or San francisco, especially if first class is that important.

......Jeff didnt look like he tried to keep you as a customer at all, to me that letter says that your not worth my time go find another airline i dont care about customer service.
jim.... is that you in there? p I'm sure they care about the OP as a customer, but the OP wants to leave at a particular time, on an airline that only serves one flight to their destination, trying to redeem miles that thousands of other mileage users are also trying to score seats.... but no they don't care..... Try to book a flight to hawaii using miles Mars and then get back to me.
