JFK is a big place... it would probably depend on what terminal you're going to be in.

LHR is much bigger.

JFK T4 and LHR T3.

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

JFK is >60% larger.

JFK T4 and LHR T3.

The Oasis in T4 is nice. See my TR from Paris for a small review.

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).

LHR is ~3000 acres. JFK is almost 5000.

Definitely.

EWR-CPH-FRA-TLV-ZRH-CDG-EWR
August IY"H.

I booked with AC.

Is there anyway to get the record locators for each airline without calling?

Also, anyone know how to do seating on the LX 343 with a SO?

Don't at least some airlines' sites allow you to search for reservations by name and date?

JFK - LAX - OGG Maui in BusinessFirst on the 20th Dec.
5 hour layover in LAX.

OGG - SFO in Economy, SFO - LAX - JFK in BusinessFirst on the 27th / 28th Dec.

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).

Thanks to Cbs for hooking us up with a convertible from Hertz for less then I would have paid for an economy ;)

Have you bought Maui Revealed yet? The revealed books are a must for Hawaii.

Well done, was wondering when someone was going to finally put that loophole to good use!

Those are both great, but extremely different hotels.
