Where are you going next, where are you staying, and when will you be there?
You can also add how much you paid (cash and/or miles) for your tickets and hotels.

Waikiki Jan 11-16 - looks like we're staying at the Westin Moana Surfrider all 5 nights for 48000 Starpoints (unless someone else has other recommendations...and I certainly could use a recommendation on how to score a suite there as an SPG Gold).
I was able to get a CO SaverPass in First & BusinessFirst, 80k + $10 each ticket RT.

I beg to differ, at least to the extent you're talking about geographical size.

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).

Will be staying in a condo in Kihei, South Maui, which we picked up on http://www.vacationhomerentals.com (started search with VRBO.com, but their lack of an option to search by available dates only makes their site a pain).

When I called back to try my luck with a different rep, I obviously didnt explain the whole situation, but simply asked if everything looked ok on my reservation. To which she said yes. Now I see that the infant is still only added up until JFK but my wife and I have the confirmations all the way through to LIH. Should I be worried that they will give me trouble when it comes time for the LIH trip?

1/8 - Delta, LGA - DTW - CAK.
Total RT: $203.80
the reason behind this route is not since its cheaper - even though it does come out to be cheaper then AirTran non stop - but because i need to fly with someone that is going from detroit to NY (that flight is $259.40!) and back. and its for sure cheaper then renting a car and driving to DTW from OH. (never mind the weather).
and in general i realized that if someone doesnt mind a stopover and the many hours, many times itll be cheaper (unless you get a cheap AirTran ticket) to do a stopover in DTW - even just one of the ways will get you a good deal.

Not entirely accurate. Avios is the new name of a program that was called "Air Miles" (http://www.airmiles.co.uk/). Air Miles allowed consumers in the UK to acquire miles from everyday shopping at certain retailers, gas stations etc. They could be used to book flights without YQ. The program was a subsidiary of BA, but not related to the original BA miles. When the Air Miles program underwent a re-branding in November, it was merged with BA miles to create Avios.
So in essence, Avios is a rewards program in the UK, but they can be accumulated/redeemed through BA (or their partners).

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.

US is in a separate terminal.
Was in LGA yesterday. Had a ticket for concourse C but wanted to use the AA lounge in D. TSA agent in C said I would not be able to enter D. People here have posted being able to get a gate pass with CO for CO lounges, was wondering if perhaps AA would do the same for me to get in to concourse C. Security line for D was non existent so we tried to get through anyways. TSA agent reminded me that my boarding pass was for C and that I was entering D. I let him know that we were aware of it, just wanted to visit the AA lounge. He let us through with no more questions. Either that TSA agent did something very wrong, or the first TSA agent I spoke to was incorrect, or YMMV.
Side note: There is currently no US lounge in LGA. From the US website:
New York (LGA)
New club opening late 2012.
During construction, club members can visit the Delta Sky Club in Terminal C once it reopens in July 2012.
No idea if the "get in to the US Air club regardless of which airline you're flying" would extend to the Delta Sky Club with your plat or not.

Its possible to wait an hour for a yellow cab at that hour. I would use your ground link creditUber might help.
Post by: jj1000 on May 03, 2012, 08:06:16 AM
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.

30K SPG/night?
Yes, quite a hit i know. On the other hand (I am there now) this hotel is absolutely amazing. Service is out of this world - the valet guy who opened my car door knew me by name (maybe I was the only person checking in at 1am?), there was a bottle of Yarden wine waiting for me in my room when I arrived, it seems every staff member in the hotel already knows that I'm shabbos-observant and can't use elevator, lights, room key etc and already offered to help (and I've only been here an hour, in middle of the night), the room (and I got a standard one to get a low floor for shabbos - 4th fl) is beautiful and quite large....so far it seems that all those points are well spent. Here till Monday 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.
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....

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.
Glad your having a nice time, though I couldn't stomach the 30k/night. Good for you!

Post by: es21729 on May 04, 2012, 06:06:56 PM
What were paid tix at the time?
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.

Post by: aussiebochur on May 04, 2012, 06:47:39 PM
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
If your mileage balances are large, use em. Nothing beats free (or $160) for $1200 tix.

I rarely fly internationally. I have alot of miles but do sell them when I can. Driving to Philly was not an option as I was pressed for time (work, kids etc). I did not price spirit but have to imagine it would have been somewhat expensive too being that I was booking the day before the flight. To pay a little more and not fly spirit is worth it in my books, I've had my own and heard others' horror stories, it's just not worth it. I still feel I got the best deal (if u want to call it that) the way I did it. 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!

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.

My wife wants to see Atlanta for a day or two. NO sounds cool, though.
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.

Is bite size 5 gates I think and there so close to each other the planes don't fit near the door you walk up to your plane I don't know anyone who has tried but you can probably figure out a way to board the wrong plane. no lounges, but free wifi that's actually fast
PBI
Is fairly small but nothing compared to HPN (I remember when it was a outdoor airport) its basically shaped like an H I think,
with the middle line between the 2 concourses being before security there's actually some nice shops and couches to sit on in that middle part, I actually would prefer that area to a lot of airport lounges there's a putting green and pool table (for a fee) there as well, again this airport also has free wifi

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.
I think the only questionable part is whether to go straight to Venice on friday instead of stopping in Milan for Shabbos.

My friend was flying on LH FRA-KBP on an I ticket, and he had his colleague with him in economy. The flight was diverted to DME (overnight) and he went to the lounge there and they wouldn't let him take a guest in. He told them that KBP he can, and he is diverted here and they should honor that. They wouldn't give in. An arab was standing nearby listening in, he tells my friend that he is a *G, and he will guest him in, and the lounge agent wasn't happy but had no choice....

I did this trip last year using my wife's non-diamond rooms from the Hyatt card and they upgraded us to a suite. Even though the rooms were in her name, they gave us $75 per day towards any kosher restaurant. We used it for breakfast and lunch.
This time they told me they can't guarantee a suite but they'll write a note on the reservation for me to get the splash suite if it's available.
I'm thinking of asking them to upgrade me to the 2bdr Terrace Suite. It is retail price is about $3000 per day. Think they'll give it to me?

But FRA-TLV would be on different metal which I could otherwise book with UA miles and avoid YQ. But I guess EU to TLV YQ are not killing ones.
Mistake that I made. Paid 57xxx miles and $218 for SQ JFK-TLV, and 27500 UA miles and $108+$75 for FRA-VIE-TLV on LH/OS.
If I would have taken it stright with SQ, would have been 75k miles, and about $400 in Taxes/Fees/YQ

:) It's not actually so crazy... 12 hrs in Vienna, 21 hrs in Barcelona, 18 hrs in Zurich, 16 hrs in London, 4 days in Paris, just under 2 days in Venice.
My wife and I have both never been to London (or anywhere in Europe for that matter) and wanted to check it out. The taxes were ~600, is that considered high? How much is stopping in London adding? I thought it was only significant when stopping over just prior to travelling the pond.

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

I would guess a couple of hundred dollars each.

Still cheaper than taking a RT train to London from Paris, but I hear you about the limited hours. Problem is we're getting in Thursday night (and have to leave early Friday to CDG, so as not to have issues with shabbos). Would I be better off skipping the ZRH portion (was planning on going to Lucerne) and having all Thursday in LHR?

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?

Because there are many beautiful places in the world and we have only a short time to see them. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see Lucerne ever again, I will definitely have a chance to sleep again and quite often. Besides when your baby gets up at 4:30 every morning, 8 am is practically lunchtime.

I don't think that's fair to the Europeans or Israelis here. It's usually not too hard to figure out from the context what the poster means.

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…

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.

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

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.
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...

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.
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?

They gave us food documents, just like in The Terminal. We bought a book.

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.

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.

Remember seeing on FT once that there is a bus post-security that will connect you to other concourse.

There is a nice US lounge before security next to the YUL concourse. They also have hours, check online.Now, after searching for a while I saw that
1) AA LGA-YUL is going from terminal B concourse C.
2) The US club is in terminal C.
3) The Admirals Club is in terminal B but in concourse D after security.
So I don't see any way that I'll be able to use any of them :(

Post by: Suave on November 06, 2014, 01:56:58 PM
"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.

Coming to Israel and vacationing in Eilat is like going to NYC for the first time and snorkeling in the Hudson.
There is absolutely nothing there that makes it worth it. May as well go to Egypt.
If your going for..
...nice hotels=taba
...cheap vacation=taba
...change of scenery=taba
...great activities=taba
...be treated like your worth more than just a free night=taba
On the other hand if your looking for naked Russian submarines then Eilat is definitely your place
Post by: keepsmiling123 on December 22, 2014, 09:15:29 AM
Wife wanted Eilat so we're definitely going. Just found out the have a kosher Big Apple there s at least Kosher food won't be impossible. Was thinking we'd have to bring our own from Jeru.

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?

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

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.

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

Any ideas for a three day, two night, trip before August where I can drive from Brooklyn and use my two free Marriot nights (I have a category 1-4 and a category 1-5, so I guess it's gotta be 2x1-4). Thought of RI but there's it's a category 8! Just want a place to relax, scenery, maybe some biking but a decent Marriot. TIA

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?
Post by: Achas Veachas on June 20, 2015, 11:03:12 PM

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?

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.

I'm looking for someone who will be at the airport in Rome and could pick up something important that they are holding for me at the Lost and Found office there. (Eventually I'd like to get it to Israel)
Thank you!

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?

Ferry is cool but more expensive, less convenient, and slower, and only goes from GiB once or twice a week and not on Sunday when I need it.
Didn't book yet but will be with cash
Post by: Emkay on September 17, 2015, 07:12:36 AM
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

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...

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.

2/19 ZLO - LAX
Staying at Pepe's Hideaway. Hubby will be working a few days in Colima so hopefully that volcano chills out!!
Also regarding Tijuana, I just went across the border with a friend and her daughter on 1/17 to get a bottle of Rumpope and grab a few tacos. We haven't been down there for many years. All I can say is NEVER again!!!! Scary stuff for sure. There was only a handful of Americans. So sad, the drug cartels have totally changed it. It took us 3 hours to get back into the good ole USA and we were on foot. The line of people was a mile long, 4 across!!! Every single person has to be questioned by an immigration officer. They only stamped the Mexican immigration form that you have to fill out when entering Mexico not our passport.

How many HUCA's did that take?Several :D
I booked just one-way EWR-BOO online and just kept on adding various segments that only had married availability until I hit brick walls and did a few HUCAs. Got some amazing agents along the way to really push the system. Maybe I should sell the call recordings, trick is to get them excited about the trip and on your side :)
