Heh, if I don't go somewhere within the next month then you can say that.  Granted I did fly just 2 months ago though.
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.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

JFK - ZRH
Swiss Airlines Economy (Airbus A330-300) No availability for upgrades in the business class cabin. According to expertflyer.com there are 8 seats available and I was told to keep on trying. Hopefully a seat opens up!

ZRH - TLV
Swiss Airlines Business (Airbus A340-300)

December 29, 2011
TLV - ZRH Business (Airbus A340-300)
ZRH - JFK Business (Airbus A330-300)

Swiss informed me that both their A330's and A340's have the new business class cabins.

Rental Car with Noach Car Rental. Free 2nd Driver and CDW covered with World Master Card. (Mastercard mailed me a packet to show Hertz at the Rental counter that they cover Israel)

I am still working on a Hotel. I will probably use my Avios miles for somewhere in Jerusalem.

Anyone flew Swiss Business or First care to share if I should upgrade any of my segments to First? Is it worth it?
