Hey folks,
I like the thread that is set up for getting help on award bookings, but reading through it, it seems to get very cluttered with responses from various requests all mixed in with each other.
I think it would help to have a separate subforum set up where all the individual requests can be posted. And if I can take it a step farther, maybe set up some guidelines on how to post to make it easier to answer requests. Right now, some of the requests read "I would like to go from xxx to xxx and I have some United miles, can you help?
How about a setup like this: each person makes a request with the following information:
1. What route are you looking for?
2. What dates do you want to travel (mention how flexible you are)?
3. Do you want to fly first, business, or coach? (maybe also "are you willing to fly coach for a positioning flight")
4. How many passengers?
5. How many points do you have, in which programs?
6. What points-earning CCs do you have?
7. Are you willing to sign up for new credit?
I think that should cover all the basic info needed to answer any request, and it will save the helpers time if we don't have to go back and ask OP for the information.
Any thoughts on this?
