I would like to grab several TATL saver awards to the Greek Islands from NYC for next summer at 330 days out, or whenever I see availability. However, my understanding is that Aegean which would be needed for the final leg of the trip from ATH to the islands (or from another European city) only releases their award flights at about 180 days out.
So it is possible to book the TATL portion whenever available on UA or LH or whatever, and add the Aegean leg at a later date? To the best of my knowledge the mileage and award booking code would not change. I know sometimes and agent says they have to cancel the original and create a new booking and then there's a risk of losing the original flights. So is it possible just to add the leg or legs on A3?
