Has this been confirmed? There was some back and forth about this in Dan's post on the Ink 70k offer?
Which airport was this for? PFO or LCA?
LCA.... I called virgin Atlantic on Sunday and they told me that they no longer can book Cyprus Air.. I haven't had a chance yet to HUCA

Update. I just HUCA'd.. Cyprus Air is still bookable through VS, but availability seems impossible.
Anyone know how I could search for availability online myself, I don't see an option for award flights on Cyprus Air website?

When I was searching a few months ago I noticed this, either a few months in advance showed up or only within the next couple days. When I tried searching for a trip in two or three weeks nothing ever showed up

Thinking of going here week after sukkos. Is $200 a good price for airfare or can I find cheaper closer to the date? Pictures of hotel look a little outdated. Is the hotel rundown or up to date?
TIA
