As requested (http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=883.msg151258#msg151258).
Edit:
VS Economy, nothing fancy for me.
JFK is a big place... it would probably depend on what terminal you're going to be in.
LHR is much bigger.
JFK T4 and LHR T3.
I beg to differ, at least to the extent you're talking about geographical size.
JFK is >60% larger.
I stand corrected, though I'm not sure about the >60% figure.
For some reason I always remember LHR as being huge and requiring tons of walking (though that might have more to do with layout than with size).
Is there anyway to get the record locators for each airline without calling?

You should try anyways. A lot of times on the short hauls they offer 2250 Avios points and $75Depends how much luggage costs on avios and if in bringing luggage because airtran has $69 OW for tues, wed. Flights (mid week real cheap)

for the records i called up BA and they said that would only work on Alaskan but not on AA.Why not use Amex?
anyways i realized my best bet is to buy 2000 points for $80 to fill the remainder up to 4500 and its cheaper then any flights ill get for the dates i need
Why not use Amex?well i dont have amex (yet) but now that u mentioned it and i see they have 30% bonus so i got someone to give me 1300 avios (1000 MR) and thats all i need. thanx!

Thanks for the suggestions. However with 8 guys going we'd need 4 rooms, I'm probably better off finding a hotel with a huge suite or even better renting a villa to house all of us. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!For a hidden gem check out Whitefish Mountain Resort in Whitefish, Montana. It's at the edge of the Canadian Rockies. You'll find nice condos (ski in/ski out) there. Actually want to go back some time this year.

How's the weather there in feb and march?Avg highs in Feb and March is mid to high 30s. Realize that this is for the local city and it is much colder on the mountain being that it is at a much higher elevation. Right now it is 12 degrees there and the highs this week is in the high 20's. Exceptional ski conditions. Also there is a microbrewery in the town with really good beer. (Nothing like fresh beer in a steaming hot tub on a porch while it's snowing ;))

Stayed there my last trip to LA -- nice place. Good coffee in the lobby in the AM. Funky bathroom amenities -- I took a bunch of things from the bathroom, thinking they were part of the bathroom amenities, but when I was leaving, found a list of prices in the room for all the things that were already in the bottom of my suitcase (a ceramic massager, some scented oils, some bubble bath, and a couple other things). I was fully expecting a hefty bill that never arrived.

Dan -- just realized we'll be at JFK at the same time :PCue sound effects: Bum, bum, bum.
Cue sound effects: Bum, bum, bum.
It'd be great to actually meet you. Any chance you're up for a chat at JFK, evening of 5/14?You can be my guests in the AA Flagship First lounge if you'd like.
You can be my guests in the AA Flagship First lounge if you'd like.
What terminal is that?No idea, but you can always just buy some full Y fares when you need gate access :)
EDIT: Got it.
"New York JFK: Terminal 8, located beyond Security within the new Concourse B Admirals Club. (AOL Travel ranked American's JFK Admirals Club as one of eight airport lounges that is worth waiting in.)"
Would we be able to get past security with EY tickets?
No idea, but you can always just buy some full Y fares when you need gate access :)
Right -- I might just do that.The flagship first lounge was one small reason why I routed via JFK instead of DFW on the outbound. Not expecting much, but worth checking out once I suppose.
Would be fun to a) meet you, and b) check out the AA Flagship First lounge.
Cab is probably easiest and may even be cheapest because you're two adults and a baby.Yup, that's what I figured.
I'd say it'd be about $50 or so.
Though, you may want to check these guys out:It's $12 one way.
http://www.nycairporter.com/
Looks to be cheaper (at about $24), but it'd probably take a bit longer.
(Free wifi, too! :P)
You can be my guests in the AA Flagship First lounge if you'd like.AFAIK you're not allowed to bring any guests into the flagship
Personally would look for a cheap rental from lga and u won't have to fill gas cuz its a short distance, and granted that ur not pressed for time, and if its not much of a hassle with the 3 of you.
Any recommendations for the best way from LGA to JFK? Just grab a yellow cab?
It's $12 one way.

And if you want to add it to your rental count like I would want to do.
Lounge is nothing special.Oh well, saved Avios if nothing else.
Can you confirm that guests aren't allowed in Flagship lounges?
AMEX Plat won't get you into the Flagship Lounge.
But an F ticket would ;)
Oh well, saved Avios if nothing else.I've guested in both JFK and LAX.
Can you confirm that guests aren't allowed in Flagship lounges?
I've guested in both JFK and LAX.With EXP international or F ticket? Think there would be a difference? Any source on AA.com/FT either way?
Does the picture I attached not show it? I guess I could be reading it wrong, but it says:That says to me that F pax are allowed to bring in 1 guest each.
AA International Premium Class, oneworld
International Premium Class
gets only:
1 guest (First Class passengers only)
With EXP international or F ticket? Think there would be a difference? Any source on AA.com/FT either way?Both.
Both.Cool!
One guest.
Its possible to wait an hour for a yellow cab at that hour. I would use your ground link creditUber might help.
Just remembered I have a $75 groundlink voucher that I got for $4.If not I could rent a car and meet you at the airport. It'd be cheaper then a cab. And I could pick you up food for the flight.
Assuming that ought to cover the transfer.
5/3 LGA/MIA AA 8:15 (just boarded)30K SPG/night?
5/7 MIA/LGA AA 6:10
Staying at st Regis bal harbour. Booked flight (aa) and hotel (SPG) with points. Used AA plat card to book and got free bags plus priority access / boarding. Full flight, ticket agent at gate was gracious enough to upgrade my seats to exit seats for no charge, just for asking!
Reserved a Mercedes from sixt with their advertised deal.
30K SPG/night?
Btw I was not impressed with sixt. Maybe because I came in late, but they had almosts no cars left. I was expecting a Mercedes c class or BMW 3 series as I reserved, they said the only car they had left in that class was a Hyundai Genesis. Not what I was expecting, but truth is the car is pretty nice. There was also a mess up with the gps which they fixed. Altogether it didnt go as smooth as expected but I guess it comes with the turf when you pay a third of the going regular price.does it have massage seats in the back? Is it a pretty cool car
I do have too say I HATE MIA and plan to use FLL exclusively going forward, there are SO many bad things I have to say negative about that airport, but it's late and I'm exhausted....Good morning America. MIA is a mess of an Airport. And asides from the fact that when I fly to Miami I try to fly exclusively JetBlue (which is strictly FLL), the simplicity of FLL and its car-rental building is simply amazing.
! I'll drive you there next time 4 that price
you should get ahold of some avios 100K to Miami is crazy!! I'll drive you there next time 4 that priceAvios dont work for AAnytime awards...
Avios dont work for AAnytime awards...
I have them. As far as I knew this was my cheapest way to get here last minute. Feel free to comment and let me know how bad i got ripped off :-) I'll know better for next time!What were paid tix at the time?
What were paid tix at the time?
PBI is only an hours drive and airtan and jetblue fly direct from HPN it's an expensive flight but I can't imagine it being 2 grand and AA usually has saver rate from PHL to MIA I know Philadelphia is a drive but....... but I can't say anything for sure, were taking about the past.For someone who doesn't sell miles and doesn't fly internationally, I don't think its a loss.
Anyhow my sincerest condolences on that loss of your 100K miles
Jetblue was over $2000 for 2 RT tickets. AA and Delta were in the range of $1300-$1400 for 2 RT tickets. I paid 100k AA miles + $160 award fee (for last minute booking, whatta rip that's on top of inflated ticket point price). I don't touch Spirit anymore.
For someone who doesn't sell miles and doesn't fly internationally, I don't think its a loss.
If your mileage balances are large, use em. Nothing beats free (or $160) for $1200 tix.
And I'm having a really nice time may I add. I've never experienced a hotel as accommodating to frum people on shabbos as the st Regis bal harbour. It's amazing. And the chabad 10:30 minyan shabbos day across the street rocks!I'd hope a cat. 7 hotel would be like that! I'm sure it kills the now cat 7 W SoBe.
EWR UASk EWR is the final destination? Are we making the lounge your office? ;)

Check this out:NYC-Miami might be cheaper using jetblue etc.
Planning Avios-sponsored tour of the US this summer with my wife. Tentative Itinerary, pending availability:
NYC - Miami - Atlanta - St. Louis - NYC
<breathe>
NYC - Dallas - Grand Canyon area (airport???) - LA - Vancouver (not US, I know) - NYC
Any thoughts, tips, or gaonishe chaps would be appreciated.

2 nights @ PH Vendôme
8/2 Paris-London -Eurostar
The nice thing about living in London. ;)Its actually mind boggling how many English people have never been to Paris
The nice thing about living in London. ;)
NYC-Miami might be cheaper using jetblue etc.Thanks. I'm trying not to spend much $ on airfare, so I'd rather not pay out of pocket for airfare. I have SW miles as well, so I'll look into that for Grand Canyon area.
Grand canyon area is LAS, PHX, or TUS. This also might be cheaper with Southwest from DFW.
PHX-LAX is a 6 hour drive. There are often great deals on one way car rental from out of CA into CA or vice versa, so u might wanna drive.
If you go to Vancouver you should probably also go to Seattle, which is 2 hours away.
I don't know why you're going to Atlanta (unless you have family).
If I were you New Orleans is a must. Cheap hotels and don't need a car. Go there with AA from DFW.
There are threads about most of the above destination where you will find a vast pool of knoweldge.
You cant use avios for lax-sea or even yvr...Shoot, really? Why is that? I guess I'll have to check SW or United (though I was saving up United miles to go to Israel)
Have you checked availability yet? It can be pretty scarce during the summerUh oh. Looks like I need to start checking availability asap. Otherwise I'll have to shell out out of pocket.
For instance, there is not a single available direct flight NYC-mia the first week in July (I didn't check more but in assume it's more of the same)
LHR-PSA 6/17long distance to travel between in two days
FCO-LHR 6/19
long distance to travel between in two days
BA can book AS.
ive never seen any AS availability on lax-sea..would be very happy if it changedSearch nonstop only on AA.com then PUTPAC BA.
ive never seen any AS availability on lax-sea..would be very happy if it changed
Availability on Alaskan for that route is quite good. You can also use Delta.com to searchYou use DL.com to search before AA.com :o

Just checked this - NYC-Miami AA availability is nil end of july/beginning of august. Any ideas? Should I flip my entire itinerary around and start in yvr?Or fly from PHL.
Or fly from PHL.
Good idea! Looking into it.There's a train
Gonna have to park in the airport for a couple weeks, tho.
There's a train
Amtrak? or something cheaper?Amtrak. Prices vary by date, but yeah, it aint cheap. Consider gas, tolls, and parking. And you might be able to fly back to NY.
IIRC u can include an amtrak leg in a UA award
Only certain Amtrak legs, and I'm not sure how you'd book it (probably needs to be booked by phone).you can book it online.

Nov 4-18. Rome, (maybe Milan for shabbos), Venice and Paris. :)please do yourself a favor and go to Venice for shabbos Instead of Milan. There is nothing really in Milan where as Venice is amazing to walk around and Chabad has a nice shabbos program set up. I've convinced a couple a people of this exact same thing and they both are very great full I suggested this for them.
He's going to a friend for shabbos. I could totally see that being a more comfortable experience than a hotel and Chabad for shabbosIts also more comfortable in my house. But when I go all the way to Europe I go for the best cities and best experience. Sure if you want shabbos in a regular city with some nice arcitec go to Milan, but if you want an experience and spend shabbos in one of the most unique cities in the world I'd suggest going to Venice. Just my 2 cents he can take it or leave it.

Just my 2 cents he can take it or leave it.Thanks. I will look into it (i.e. see what hotels are near chabad but fit into my budget). Right now, my tentative plan is leave YUL 7pm on sunday 4th, have a 6 hr layover in amsterdam on monday morning (enough time to take a quick dart into town), then arrive in rome at 4:30. I would spend 4 nights in Rome and take the train Friday morning to Milan, spend shabbos there. Sunday , take the 6am train to venice (short ride), and spend 2 nights there. Tuesday, I booked an easyjet flight at lunchtime from venice to paris. I will be in paris from tuesday afternoon to sunday morning and then return home.

How did you book? You used SQ miles for the full NYC-FRA-TLV trip?
What was your total in miles? In YQ?
Mistake that I made. Paid 57375 miles and $218 for SQ JFK-TLV, and 27500 UA miles and $108+$75 for FRA-VIE-TLV on LH/OS.

What's the point of being in LHR from 4:05 PM to 8:40 AM?
Doesn't that add a lot of taxes? What were your total taxes?

What did this price out?
I would guess a couple of hundred dollars each.
Stops in vie and bcn definitely seem worthwhile. It's not a question of how many hours, but a question of which hours. Leaving zrh at 7 would be very different then leaving at 320. Lhr you will be able to do basically nothing. Really not worth yourtime unless you extend the stay
For sure. No way you can go to lucerne with a 320 flight. I'd say do either lucerne or lhr. Not both
Seems doable though. If we get to Lucerne at 8:00am, We will have more than 4 hours before heading back for the 45 minute drive to the airport. Not enough time to enjoy Lucerne?
Seems doable though. If we get to Lucerne at 8:00am, We will have more than 4 hours before heading back for the 45 minute drive to the airport. Not enough time to enjoy Lucerne?You're on a vacation. Not n army training session. Why would you want to get to lucerne at 8 am?
Updated post, it was 200k United miles + ~$600200k each?

Either way, your itinerary leaves you with no usable time in lhr. I really think something needs to changeTrue, better off just deleting LHR.

Basically - let's see the itin!
New York to Tokyo spending 10 days flying on United :( kinda scared because of their reputation.
Tokyo to Seoul 5 days flying on ANA
Seoul to Phuket 5 days flying Air Asia
Phuket to Bangkok 4 days flying on Air Asia (only going to bangkok because there is a temple where you can play with tigers ;D)
Bangkok back to New York
Looks like a great trip, but if you can switch from BKK to CNX (Chaing Mai), you can do tigers and a bunch of other great stuff...I considered CNX but its harder to fly back to New York from there. Economy for the budget traveler :)

nice itin.Five days in Phuket, I figured we'd go island hopping like to Koh Phi Phi. We are meeting a group of friends so it should get interesting. We're there the 17th of June. :)
FYI the tigers are 2 hour ride from BKK - make sure you do the floating market while your in that area as well.

I am not sure if this is the time or place for this.. I have three tickets for Spirit, (you can use it many places in the country but the flights that I checked are…this should go in the deals board.
out of LaGuardia to either Ft Lauderdale or Orlando the last week of Jan or the first week of Feb.
or you can fly the last week of Jan out of Atlantic City to Ft Lauderdale.
Willing to give a great deal on these tickets (lower than any price you can find plus more...)
The tickets do not include luggage, which if you need anything besides a personal bag (Spirit’s policy) you would have to pay for…
Will be in LAX tomorrow night.

about HKG i think the rules of visa have switched recently, just double checkI checked the other day and it said that for HKG <90 days is fine i believe.
good luck!
sounds like fun
I checked the other day and it said that for HKG <90 days is fine i believe.i know in PEK its 3 days. as long as you did your research then make sure you have print outs, but you should be fine
If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.
How does JFK look like today? Would you travel again on Jan 1st?i was there today.
Was a big backup when we arrived early afternoon.
But for the first time, we were met by an LH F rep who walked us right through security, skipping the huge line.
(But when she found out we were GE she said "oh, well, you didn't need me, that's basically the same thing!")

Wow. I think you may have me beat.I has been a whirwind so far. My kid is gonna hate me. Though more for the fact that he will probably have travelled to many "exotic" locals before he is 3 and i will probably not go back to these places so quickly (big world). He will be able to say he has been to all these places, but the only pics will be of him as a child/infant :D
Im about to board my first flight and now wishing I was in bed sleeping.

His flight counter so far is; EWR-PHL-TLV-PHL-YYZ-EWR :: EWR-MIA-EWR and this trip. Not like Dan's kids, but its a decent start.
Well good luck. Thailand, Australia, and Maldives is next on my bucket list.I have very similar, just have Bali in Thailand's spot.

You ever had your baby crying in F?
That was my biggest fear before traveling. I kept on thinking about the poor guy who paid $9k for his seat just to hear my little one crying...
B"H it all worked out wonderful, but I have to admit I had chills...

It helped me a lot.
Gosh.It definitely was a concern. Our Israel trip was more of a test run. OZ F was great, didn't really make much noise. Only got a little stir crazy being on the plane for 14 hours. The FA's were great as well. They made him a bassinet in an extra F seat (didn't end up using it, but was nice). They also kept comjng around and wanting to hold him as well. Overall very nice.

If long enough you can start your own thread.. Yes, I think it would be helpful for people who are planning a similar trip. I, myself, would like to do something similar in the next year or so, hence it would be helpful to me. But i'm sure to others as well.You definitely do. Aside from being really helpful to people planing similar trips, I really enjoy reading about other peoples journeys. And I believe lots of DDF'ers do too.
Even a simple report of places you went, schedule, what you did, etc. just something other people can look at upon when planning their own or to read about other's interesting trips
Do I make sense?

Back in ORD :(
Delayed for two hours, flew for an hour, then turned arounf and flew back bec of a medical emergency. Not exactly sure why we didn't land in minneapolis or winnipeg or whatever we were near.
Maybe worth it. Let's see what you can get out of the airline. Which airline did you fly?
United. I don't think I'm likely to get anything.Well, that's why they went back. Didn't want to be stuck with out a crew
The crew timed out now. I told the gate agent that I also timed out as a passenger and that my union doesn't let me fly so long.
Well, that's why they went back. Didn't want to be stuck with out a crew
So then they said the new crew is here, but the plane has to be recleared because there was too much fuel and it landed heavy.
Then my brother brought us burger buddies.
Then they toid us that the plane is cleared but the lavatory is broken. I suppose because there was too much gas, see infra.
Then they told us the flight attendants time out at 600. But we reboarded. And if we leave by 6 we'll get there today.
Tomorrow: LGA-DEN will be around LGA at about 9am iyhI'm in DEN this week.

whats the best lounge in LAX that i can enter with a priority pass membership or platinum cardWhich airline? Delta? There are 8 (or 9) terminals most of which are not connected after security so it kinda makes a difference.

1)Just checked their website, they close 8:00pm? Do all lounges have hours?
2) Does anyone know if there's an Admirals Club in TC?
There is an admirals club, but it's not in the same concourse as the YUL flights, you'll need to screen security twice (unless something recently changed). There is a nice US lounge before security next to the YUL concourse. They also have hours, check online.Thanks! They're open till 9:00 which is just perfect for me.

Flying there with avios on US or driving?Driving from PHL would take to long. Using 9k avios for a $700 ticket was a better deal
Edit: Forgot you mentioned in the Montreal post that you are take car or public bus from airport, so i guess that answers it ;)

Paris for just ONE day? I loved Europe, and I personally think you're trying to go to too many cities in under 2 weeks. I would cut out part of the trip and stay at places longer.
Enjoy!!Rome and paris is 2 days each bru is because I learned in antwerp for 3 years and wasn't there for 13 years

need a dentist?? :P
need a dentist?? :PI was at the dentist again today, he ran out of novacaine - it was painful.
"ran out of novacaine?"Many people here opt out of novocain as it costs $3.50 per shot. The other day, I watched an older women in the next seat (there are 3 dental chairs in the same room) get a root canal without a needle, i offered to pay for her, but she said she would rather use the money on more important things. I was crying for her.
You're going to the wrong dentists.
Maybe you should "run out of money" to pay him.
Ohhh, this was out of the country? Makes a bit more sense now.

Nothing is going to really be open while we are there. Or at least things we would have liked to see. Figure we will go back a different time and spend these two days in a warmer climate.MCO isn't hot this time of year. Warmer than NY but it ain't like going to Miami

Enjoy venice. What happened in MilanBeen there 4 times and never enjoyed it, exert for once when I spent my time with a group of drugged up touring musicians.
I would never subject myself to that again.Phew. After our conversations last summer, I was first to see MXP as your destination. Glad you're getting to go to Venice again. No flights from TLV-VCE though?

Phew. After our conversations last summer, I was first to see MXP as your destination. Glad you're getting to go to Venice again. No flights from TLV-VCE though?Which conversation, remind me?
Which conversation, remind me?No specific one, I just believe that we were all involved in Italy planning last summer and the reasons not to go to MXP were brought up and made clear.
There are flights but for the price of one ticket I'm getting three.
No specific one, I just believe that we were all involved in Italy planning last summer and the reasons not to go to MXP were brought up and made clear.I would never take points to Europe. It's cheaper 100% of the time for me to book revenue. I just enjoy Venice for shabbos, I would not go back for during the week. It's cheaper for me to go to Venice then it is for most people to go to northern or southern israel from Jerusalem for shabbos. And regarding visiting other places in Europe, I did almost all of them
No point options?
Also curious why you keep going back to Italy. Obviously it's beautiful and fun, but I'm not sure how many times I would enjoy VCE when I could be visiting other places? I imagine it's because it's hard to go far and stay away for a longer trip, but nothing else in Europe that's doable/interesting?

I agree Shabbos in Venice is a great amount of time, especially once you've had a day or in the week to visit the sites. But flying and then taking the train must not be fun.
Hehe okay. I agree Shabbos in Venice is a great amount of time, especially once you've had a day or in the week to visit the sites. But flying and then taking the train must not be fun.its not as bad as it sounds, its a 4 hour flight then i will be taking a break to go into the city to eat supper and then a direct 2:35 train to within a ten minute walk from my hotel. Although i have flown from NY to there getting there two hours before shabbos and leaving two hours after shabbos and i would do it again (if my kid stays home :) )
Do you have some sort of discount to Venice you'd like to share?
What airline for the cheap fares to venice from tlvNone

Thanks. Last question- who would have the ability to bring in a guests for free? Only those actually flying on a premium product?Nope by the Dan, but in the king David you can only get in if you are flying a premIum product so default yes

What is the "free domestic add-on flight with BA" ?well before the devaluation, any flight in and out of london was entitled to a free stopover in london and a trailing (or preceding) flight to anywhere in the UK for no additional avios. now its limited to long haul flights only. for example, i booked FRA-LHR on 7/5 and then LCY-EDI on 7/27, for a total for 4.5k

You can use BA to fly AA direct to LAX from OGG.True, but availability is really tough in the summer and nothing seems to open up closer to the date. AS also flies non-stop OGG-SAN which could be an option if he's willing to take a redeye Thursday night.

The flight was nice. The plane was a bit old but it flew. The pilot was from crown heights. I basically flew it for the whole thing except for the landing.
Did they get a video of you doing it? Was there any nice sightseeing in the area that you flew?Not any fancy video or anything, the pilot took his cellphone out in middle and recorded for like a minute.
Not any fancy video or anything, the pilot took his cellphone out in middle and recorded for like a minute.
The flight was mostly over the south beach of long island (Jones beach, Fire island). If you go with more than one person then I think they go to Connecticut to land and switch places so everyone gets a chance to fly.
Cool so after your partners didn't come, did you still fly to Connecticut, or was it 60 minutes of cruising?That's why we went to the beaches instead.

Zing.😳😨😰😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Remind me not to answer any more of your trip planning PMs in the future!
We left BOS last night. Short layover in DUB then on to AMS. Planning a more complete TR, but I will tease by saying the EI Arrival Lounge is very nice - great showers!I was shocked when I walked in to their "arrivals" lounge. On the plane they make it sound like a beautiful place.....They tell you that you can have your blazer and stuff pressed but of course it wasn't working. They have showers and that's it.
It reminded me of EK lounge in DXB where you have like 5 showers for everyone.What's that supposed to mean? When I was there, I didn't have to wait at all to take a shower.
What's that supposed to mean? When I was there, I didn't have to wait at all to take a shower.Really!? You're lucky. I came to the showers and they put my name down and told me it will be 10 minutes ::) I thought I was in the wrong place no jokes. I went to DDF ;) in the meantime and came back in time for my shower.

you didn't have any interest in taking the ferry across the strait of Gibraltar?
did you book the Royal air Morocco flight with cash, or iberia plus miles?
did you book the Royal air Morocco flight with cash, or iberia plus miles?i would have booked through miles with iberia (or etihad) but being that i dont think there is a way to check availability online i didn't, and there is no way im calling iberia

10k? It's less than 650 miles. Or are you talking about J?I don't think they have the same award chart
I don't think they have the same award chartThey must now. That's unfortunate, but it makes sense that you'd rather spend $100 instead.

He was following the rare award master thread....
Nice.. but if I would do QF F I would do SYD>LAX, juts to check out the lounge, but its a very difficult award.Beggars can't be choosers. I took what I got and built the itinerary from that golden QF F ticket.
He was following the rare award master thread....I was not actually. Back in April (before pesach) I was spending ten mins a day on AA's site looking at avalabity for this particular route which I know is very tight. Looking through all 330 days out. Month by month. After three days of random scanning, There was a Monday November 30th. F ticket on QF 12. I immediately put it on hold for five days...

Fixed. Thanks
The AMM-TLV and TLV-AMM is award or revenue?
Most likely going to be revenue :(
Maybe the way back award. All pending availability .
Hmm, it's still early though. You have time for stuff to open up.
Very unlikely when it's F0/A0/R0.I didn't realize it was F0/A0/R0. In that case it's quite unlikely.
Heading out tomorrow to...

You must be pumped! Single-trips can really be fun! ::)I am excited!! Though the thought of going without DW is a bit disappointing. I'm sure I'll feel differently once I get on the plane.

The feeling might not change but it will simply disappear for a while.Question is will "a while" last the whole trip? I doubt it.

1/31 JFK-SAN
2/4 SAN-JFK
I know not so exciting compared to the other ones here :D
Still working on that, will do Sea World and the Safari (or SD Zoo), wandering if it's worth to cross the border to Mexico.Tijuana isn't that exciting, unless you want to say you've been to Mexico. If you do go, don't drive, walk. The wait can be 3 hours sometimes on the drive back.
Open to suggestions.
1/31 JFK-SANWhere are you staying?
2/4 SAN-JFK
I know not so exciting compared to the other ones here :D
I need to fill up my passport somewhere ;)If you walk in and go to Av. Revolución, the main street, you'll be fine.
My concern is about safety, Is Tijuana a safe place to spend a few hours roaming around?
Where are you staying?Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, paying with points of course.

Are you planning on driving there? I'm unsure if you'll get it stamped+1. Last I was there they didn't stamp (or even stop you from just walking in. Now they have a new border facility so that may be different.
If I'm crossing it's not for the stamp.
Tnx for the tips, will let you know how it was (Don't expect a TR...)
You said you were looking to fill up your passportWith emoticons...
+1. Last I was there they didn't stamp (or even stop you from just walking in. Now they have a new border facility so that may be different.No they still don't stamp, and the wait time was nearly 10 minutes.
No they still don't stamp, and the wait time was nearly 10 minutes.With or without GE?
Without.Not bad. Should be even quicker with.
