Not true IME.

But they do state they will.

i was not suggesting that i would do it if they were makpid. I was merely asking if they were makpid or if they let anyone use that rate.

Did you bring your marriage license in case they checked?

AJK · « **Reply #867 on:** January 29, 2014, 12:43:58 PM »

I did.

I color out of the lines. But in short if u can find an AA direct flight (with LY) to BKK in J ill be danged its nearly impossible. There is a worka round a drop. Flights using AA on LY to HKG and then to BKK is much easier to find availability than flying to MUC then to BKK from TLV (as i did. it wasted a full 10 hrs of my day)

I watched J from TLV to BKK for a few months and seats kept popping up here and there, for quite a range of dates also. IME its not as impossible as you say, I was able to snag 2. Also depends on what day of the week you're looking to fly.

I tried last yr to book. i was not able to get a seat as hard as i tried. Now im sitting on 130k AA (i did the JJGM).

Maybe things have gotten easier. I was able to snag upper level on the 747-400 which was fun to do for the first time for me and my wife. Took a long time watching still, but the major point I learned was that I should have booked one at a time and hoped for the best. Single seats kept popping up again and again. Getting the 2 together barely happened two weeks before the flight, and moving points around last minute and waiting for them to post in order to get it made the suspense unbearable.

Hadn't heard that one before- took a little bit of searching to find. Is this just trying to press the apply buttons as close together as possible for both apps, or is there some other secret I'm not aware of here ?

I was not waiting for last minute for availability to open up. i just booked and held onto the points.

The secret is to have him in the next room while you do it... its alm,ost like rubbing a bald guys head for good luck.

Your implication that I would be sarcastic on an important forum such as DDF.

Sheiks go to the Cleveland Clinic all the time for medical issues.
They're known for walking up to mansions in Shaker Heights and offering insane sums of cash to the owners if they can have everything out in a day.
