When I moved back from Israel to the US 10 yrs ago, I promised myself I'd go back with my kids for a summer as soon as possible. I could never accumulate enough mileage fast enough until I discovered dans deals. I believe I have enough mileage now for a trip next summer (2013). I know availability is tight then and my mileage is strewn over a few airlines. If anyone has suggestions, it would mean a tremendous amount to me.
Oh, I almost forgot! I need 9 tickets!:P
mileage balances:
AA- 357k (self), 136k (wife)
United- 150k (self), 100k (wife)
AmexMR- 120k self, 290k wife
BA- 120k self
Chase ur- 87k self, 61k wife
