When we first signed up for the Plat card, we were excited about the int'l companion airfare but it is very limited and has never been available anywhere we go. Maybe for Europe??
You too I see. It sounds better than it is.
 
I've used it to Asia, Europe and most recently to Africa. Not cheap -- full boat on one ticket and then taxes.
 
Not so far in advance. I let AmEx Travel pick it for me using the best carrier. Cathy Pacific, Air France and South African Airlines. Note, this is a cash deal for ticket one -- no points are used.
 
I understand. I Always do full fare international first on business but for some reason have trouble getting 2 for 1
 
When in doubt, read the Ts & Cs.
