lax-tlv Aug 18

[Armadillo]

Another challenge for the boys (and girls):
I'm trying to get a ticket from lax-tlv on the 18th or 19th. I have a direct return on hold for the 26th, but on the outbound all they have is ewr-tlv at 2pm. No connecting flights to the ny area on the 17th or 18th unless I add more mileage (25000) which isn't an option. This needs to be booked with aa, unless someone wants to trade.

 is there anything to PHL and train it up or do a 1 way car rental or LGA or JFK and take a Shuttle to EWR.To be more flex look for aday before and Hotel it @ EWR the nght before, as AA has 1 flight a day into EWR non-stop so with connecting and then having to change Terms it doesnt leave you many options at all.

 Or ask if the LAX-LHR or DFW-Erope flight are available and connect with LY,IB,BA, AB (Air Berlin) from there

Yeah, I tried all these options except maybe PHL. I'll get back on the phone. How much is it from phl-ewr by train (or elsewise)?

 its 2 trains a local to the 30th St station and then Amtrack from there, Id 1st see what a 1 way rental would cost at times not much more then the train. Borth trains I think s/b apx $55 its been awhile since Ive done it myself. The shuttles dont want to p/u at the Airport told me people constantly were not arriving in tim eor getting their bags in time so they cut out p/u at the Airport

no availability to phl, but thanks for the info

 kinda of not surprised at your problem, Ive been trying to book a Thurs-Mon flight out to the LA area (for me that means flying into ONT,SNA,LAX,SAN) and nothing south of $500 and seems $600 is more normal. cant remember the last time I didnt do LA at least twice for Shabbos during the summer, even LAS isnt touchable and >$500 and the Casinos are crying

Mr Madillo.

What's wrong with my suggestion?

Let you father get a taste of an upper class. (That's a nice preview before the upper cut)

B/c it's been so long, look for my breakthrough in a post entitled 'Creating availability on AA' (or 'How to open up that award seat')
