Forget it — tried to use companion ticket from Delta American Express Card and no companion seat was available within 30 days of our desired travel dates. Cancelled card with AM Express and they kept most of the $135 annual fee — currently apprealing the fee proration.

I found a flight on Orbitz, then I called API with the flight info and they booked it at the same price. I received the free companion ticket and only had to pay the taxes, etc.

All the API quoted rates are twice as expensive as booking through the airline, so it’s no deal at all.

I am looking into the Companion Ticket for American Express Platinum Card program. I travel extensively shooting weddings between the US and Europe and could use the companion ticket for my assistant.

I called API and checked the availability of a number of dates but they were blacked out. Hummm. Not sure but this may be bait and switch.

Well…I wouldn’t get too excited about the Domestic Companion Airfare Program. I tried to book several different trips, PSP-HNL in May, June or July, PSP-JFK end of June to July, the companion fare price in all cases was the same or greather than if I purchased the tickets directly through the American Express Travel site. I’m going to keep trying too, but so far this appears to be a bait and switch.
