how does someone with a pilots license miss 6 landings?

It was extremely foggy last night so I’m sure that played a part.

Up In The Air / Re: Anyone ever sell a tix w/miles? I have 2 kids w/15K AAdvantage

« on: March 27, 2019, 06:40:47 AM »

2 of our kids have just over 15K in AAdvantage Miles.
I was thinking of marketing & booking/selling a last minute one way tix to folks & use the miles that way.
I can't find anything else worthwhile.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You can use the flights for your kids or yourself

Up In The Air / Re: El Al Website

I just booked a flight for this summer on El Al via Chase Ultimate Reward points. I was missing one of my family members Global Entry/TSA numbers. Does anyone know how to add it to the booking? I'm trying on the El Al website but it's absolutely awful. I tried modifying passenger information but that didn't get me anywhere.

Ideally I'd use the Chase/Expedia site but I don't see that option there either.

Elal doesn’t participate in TSA Pre.

Up In The Air / Re: elal changed the date and location of my flight

Seems that Elal canceled the flight i was booked on, and rebooked me for the next day from a different airport. they sent me an email saying that they switched my seat assignment, but when you look closer you see that they pushed off my tickets to the next day and from a different airport, and not a night flight. what can i expect them to do about this?

Sounds like you were BONVoYed.

Auto correct from Wilpons, sorry

Lets be fair- they weren’t properly running the Mets before Madoff either.

Iirc the Wilsons (owners of the Mets) were required to pay back a large amount of money which led to them being unable to properly run the Mets and they had to sell equity to raise funds.

Wilson from Dennis the Menace or Cast Away?

Another question, is there a charge or line to walk around the Roman ruins section with the Arch of Titus, etc, if I dont go into the Colosseum? Thanks

Yes. It’s the same ticket as the Colliseum (gets you in to both places).
But since the Arch of Titus is right by an exit, if you just want to see that, you technically can without going in.

The Pope of Rome was now in Abu Dhabi.  Greeted warmly by Dr Ahmad Al Tayyeb, who seeks the destruction of Israel. Why should a Jew be in the vatican of all places ?!?!?

Make sure not to go to Washington DC as I saw President Trump greeted warmly by Kim Jong Un who seeks the destruction of Israel.
