And to use a certificate, it is not enough to book a flight before it expires: you must fly, and complete the round trip, before it expires. Certificates expire 1 year after they are issued.

In those cases, you can use the certificates to get two first class tickets for less than two coach tickets would have cost without the companion certificate. When tickets are particularly expensive across the board (during holiday travel, for example), you may find that first class tickets are only moderately more expensive than coach.

Hat Tip: Eye of the Flyer (and also a reader who reached out separately). That’s a huge improvement since changes and cancellations (which are now usually free) often result in eCredits which are usually good for just 1 year. Update: I’m not sure when this changed, but you can now (finally!) apply eCredits to the cash portion of your booking.
