Booking Cathay reward seats through British Airways
As the title suggests, I want to book 3 HK-BOM Cathay reward seats through BA as I have Avios that I pool with my Amex MR points and make the booking. However, the seats that I’m looking for do not show up on BA. I have read that Cathay does not open up a lot of their reward seats to partner airlines. The same seats are available on the Cathay website. But I do not have enough Amex MR to convert to Asia Miles and book the tickets.
This booking is for 6th Dec. Is there a possibility that Cathay opens it through BA a little closer to the travel date? Does it make sense to wait?
Or the last option that I have is to top up the Asia Miles difference to book the tickets, but then it isn’t worth it really.
What do y’all suggest?
