Yes, that's them.
For the OP: It's odd that you are only seeing May dates. Is that for both your city of origin and the destination? October dates are posted for numerous US destinations.....
You aren't allowed to save seats and the flight attendants are supposed to be enforcing this. It's one of the most common A-lister complaints and the company listens to its top tier flyers. If you check in at the same time, it shouldn't matter. Or you can pay the extra ($30 maybe?) at the gate and get bumped up to a higher category.@COMystery wrote:
It has been my experience on the SQM flights, the airline does not have preassigned seats. Instead you request a boarding pass 24 hours before the pass. You then get the order number for you to stand in line to board the plane. You and your fiance will have to get your boarding passes separately. However, whoever gets the best number can generally save a seat for their flight partner. I would be hesitant to do back to back one-stop flights. I've done it, but it sure was nicer having only one report to contend with. They do give you 72 hours which is nice. All in all it's a pretty good deal and a rather easy report in which much can be competed while in flight.

Is Step Level 9 a shopper rating? I've done at least 15 shops for them and have never noticed a rating.

A price increase isn't going to matter since it's being booked with the scheduler's points. This is how the company gets paid - they book with points and then get your 50% as their fee. They'll accept the lowest priced flight at the time of booking. That means you cannot change the flight if, say, there are vouchers being offered for overbooking (they're no longer supposed to be doing this) or delayed flights.
I am a bit confused by the above statement. I have never done one of these but have similar questions . I have booked through this airline many times and the price goes up dramatically once you are two weeks out. My daughter flew recently and the change was from around $150 one way to over $300 one way for the cheaper seats after a few days of checking. So if we pay half which is what I understand, there seems there would be no savings as half of the closer date is $150 which is the price at the further date.
To clarify, you pay the lowest available fare at the time of booking. This is paid TO THE MSC. The scheduler then books the flight with points from his account. After a correctly completed report (I've yet to hear of someone having theirs rejected), they refund 50% of what you paid.@sandyf wrote:

Wondering how that worked since the flight is tied to the scheduler's rewards account. The voucher should have shown up with his number, shouldn't it?@Lisannez wrote:
The airline offered us a voucher due to the delay and I was allowed to keep that so basically on top of the discount I got the voucher.
