I didn't have the flexibility, plus I needed availability on the connecting flight. Figured I'll bite the bullet.
How much time do you have in FRA?

Nice! For AS 50k?  What’s the 2nd best way to book CX if you don’t have AS points?

Ok thanks. Since then they are also SPG, I think I’ll just have to suck it up and get some of the AA cards (never bothered because they have horrible availability but seems worth it for Asia travel).

Just finished the last booking, so the craziness is all locked down now:
Something is wrong. Either your text of LYR-BRU as being a nonstop flight is wrong, or the map is wrong as it shows connecting in OSL. Also, you didn't tell me Croatia is in the trip! How much to join just for that portion?

Good catch, fixed.

Feel free to join us in Croatia, but to be honest flying to Europe for two nights is probably not the best idea ;D.

That's not an official workshop, so you basically pay your expenses.

Note that you might need to be in Europe for Shabbos to make this work, so I'm not sure it's worthwhile, TBH ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The fare was $99, but I went with LowFare+ (bag, exit row seat, KSML).

Is there an award for most random airports without having TLV in the airport thread?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

There was a flight to Montenegro that had a 2-hour layover in TLV. I was considering booking it just to make you even madder.

KRK-WAW-JFK on LO in Y/J
52k M&M +$133.48

Now lets hope LO doesnt pull the same shenanigans as those booked with J seats booked with AC.
