Airline Reservation Tip

When making airline reservations for more than one person, check the price for the total number of travellers first and then check the price for one traveller. Sometimes there are less lower price seats left than the number of people traveling and the airline systems only give you the higher price. This way you can make separate reservations at the different prices.

This is also true for frequent flyer award tickets. I just made reservavtions on American for my son and his friend using award tickets. The system only showed 25K awards (each way) available for two travellers, but when I put in one traveller, I got a 12.5K award ticket. The total milage for the two roundtrips was 62.5K instead of 75K.
