Is that rate worth it?
Is it possible to get travel insurance elsewhere, even though I still booked the cruise through liberty travel? Thanks

I understand tickets purchased with miles cannot accrue miles, but the travel agent never alerted him that she was going to use frequent flier miles and I don’t believe this is standard practice. Is this allowed?
I meant her own miles.

But the underlying issue is that the agent never alerted him about the use of her personal miles.
