Are you seeing that online? I checked the end of July and didn't a/t.
Also, I assume you reach the 37.5 after applying AXON rewards?

Met a pretty influential character on the plane JFK-AUH ;)
on the TR it seemed like you parted as soon as you left the plane, you therefor have to fill us in on the rest!

Wow.

I just looked at that property again -- what a tremendous loss for the Hilton program... and for us.

If you show them a ticket at the US Consulate in Jerusalem, they can do it for you same day. I've done it before.

We did - I was just messin' around.

We didn't face immigration because we stayed overnight in the F lounge.

If you're planning the vacation of a lifetime, I'd say splurge the $1k (if you can afford it) and go with the Hilton OWB option, especially if you'll actually be getting all those HH points like you describe. (obviously the weather issue might be a concern you should consider, but I know nothing about that)

As far as Kosher food is concerned, I doubt Hilton Gold will get you any Kosher breakfast in SEZ, and if they do it'll be an airline meal...

Hilton Iru Fushi was unimpressive in my opinion.. my seaplane leaving the Waldorf stopped at the Iru Fushi on the way, and it was a huge difference compared to the Waldorf.

It seemed like a huge hotel, lots of people, less privacy, the beach we landed next to was nothing compared to the Waldorf.

If you are going stick to the Conrad in my opinion or Waldorf if you can make it in time.. anyone who wants pics of waldorf I can send a few

Surprised no one has made an inappropriate comment pointing out the inauspicious date Hilton is losing the Waldorf

Wife reminded me that its the 3 weeks, so....

And weather wise, any reason to expect a difference between Seychelles and Maldives in August?

Running into a major issue now.
Last week, UA was showing daily availability to both SEZ and well as MLE.

Tonight, they're telling me nothing is showing up, and after a lot of time on hold, she told me that there is no valid routing. Additionally, I'm seeing not seeing anymore on the website to go to SEZ!!

Was this some Qatar bloodbath?

It also won't let me route through Singapore to go to MLE.

Dumb luck I guess.

Oddly enough, UA is showing availability again. Back to making calls tonight, and hoping that my transfer from Virgin to HH hurries up.

Anyone have a good summary of the fees that airlines charge for infants when using reward tickets? I know Dan had s/t, but it focused a lot on BA, and I'm only looking at the Star Alliance.

Aeroplan is the best. UA charges 10% of the rate, which is very expensive.
