Thank you

Saved $100 on the ticket.

There was a DDMS post yesterday about this.

It's wasn't the cheapest way to TLV but we wanted a long layover in Paris (17hrs)
for a one day trip.

Up In The Air / Re: Hidden City Ticketing in Europe and Suitcases

« on: November 22, 2016, 02:50:44 PM »

I have a flight on TAP from NYC to FRA with a connection on LIS. Due to the recent terrorism in Germany, I (aka my wife) have decided to switch my trip to Geneva, Switzerland. Instead of taking an 8 hour train from Frankfurt to Geneva, I would rather just book a ticket from LIS to GVA, thereby creating a hidden city ticket (although that was not my original intention).

I know that in the USA, all suitcases from international flights are unloaded and claimed at the first point of arrival, and then re-checked onto any connecting flights. Is that also the case in Europe? If not, and if I book the new ticket on TAP as well, would I be able to ask that the suitcases be checked directly to GVA, or at least unloaded at LIS?

And I already tried calling TAP, but I couldn't even get a rep on the phone. An automated message literally told me that they are too busy now, and that I should call back later. I read that TAP is pretty bad airline, but I hope that this experience is not a harbinger of what is to come.

Thanks for any help and suggestions!!

Similar question regarding luggage:
AF JFK to CDG RT and   AF CDG to TLV RT were booked as 2 different AF reservations on priceline

The flight from TLV to CDG has a 1:50 stopover in CDG before continuing onto to JFK.

In TLV, will AF tag your bag to JFK or do you have to claim your bag at CDG to get it to JFK?
If so, is 1:50 enough time to do that?
Please advise as I can still cancel this reservation today.

If you are referring to staying at the hotel at the airport- the sheraton is open you can book it on tripadvisor
the first link allows you to do so

as far as sleeping on a couch there were many people sleeping on
mini beds in the terminals -many had charging stations for your phone/laptop

We're looking at a 3-4 day trip to Paris with our 15 month baby.

I am out of Chase MRs. Was thinking of doing a Priceline name your own price to find a hotel.
They've divided Paris into 28 sections. Anyone have experience with a strategized bid in Paris?
Here's the link.
Which 'priceline areas' are good to stay in (ideally near a metro, shul (and mikva, unless the hotel has a pool which I underdstand is unlikely in Paris) and what sort of price can i expect for a decent hotel. (not looking for anything fancy).

Let us know what hotel and price you got with Priceline-Good Luck
