It's more expensive than the IC, any way to get it for less? With CC or free nights?

He paid $$$

Too much ;)

But he can afford it. He just purchased revenue KE J tickets for four to ICN and then onto DAN DAD where he'll stay at the Nam Hai, perhaps one of the world's most highly ranked resorts.

Total just for that is about $20K.

He knows. And he hates talking about it.

(Not unsurprising ;))

Even people like that would prefer the $20k stay in their own pockets, if possible.

Anyone want the IC Thalasso from 03/01-03/06?
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.

High-end SPG is a rip-off.
And you have a GOOD memory.

Seriously? You've pulled off finding availability for 5 days in each of Dec, Jan, and March?? :)
Curious to know, though, 3/1 is a Sunday. Is there anyway to leave home after a Shabbos and actually get there by Sunday night?

+1... Clearly Dan has a trick... It's not just checking every day

Impossible to get to BOB, unless you rent a speed boat at PPT (not even sure if that's possible), though it is possible to reach PPT by 9pm if you take the 4.30pm flight out of LAX
