Sure about confirmed kosher meals?
Yup :)
One day.......

Know anyone successful in booking this? Anyone?
Considering that there are an entire 0 TRs from BOB on DDF...

Great post Dan, bonus points for posting the IBC video of one of our top DDF'ers here, lots of information there, of which quite a bit was new for me, thanks.
Amazing as always Dan. Thanks!
Thanks guys.


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.

Nice. I'm assuming airline stuff?

I know your the D in DDF, but there are other places where you spend some time, eh?

Amazing post. Especially appreciated the tel aviv rewards. Now I'll be hoping on a trip to Cyprus because it's only 5k and why not...!

Nice roundup Dan, thanks!

Which basically kills the "meals included" part of the deal.

Was wondering if you gonna hit the Amtrak option.

NYC<>MIA in a bedroom is on the ol' list.

Sure about confirmed kosher meals?

Lets have a DO on the ride down(are you bringing your car along) ;)

Who knows. AFAIK, no one on the internet has ever been successful booking it. Until then, it's just like KE can book GA F... theoretically possible, but practically not.

No minus. Availability can be hard to come by though.
