@Dan, care to venture a guess whether these will be honored?

No. And I guess there's no wifi on the flight.

See what the DOT has to say about FF programs, https://ntl.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/296/kw/air%20travel/session/L3RpbWUvMTM0MjM4MjExMi9zaWQvNjM4OXhkMWw%3D
In my humble opinion it seems from the website that those rules apply to the mileage programs themselves... once a ticket is issued it falls under the category of a regular contract ticket and wont be so easy just to cancel the tickets, but only time will tell

ORD-HKG-ORD BUSINESSFIRST x 2
Couldn't find good available days for First but it seems like many of you did.


Wish I would have added TLV stopover.

Lol! I love this mindset! I'll let you in on a little secret. I have a seat booked that's better than any first class in the world! It's got a couch, recliner, computer, full bathroom with shower, a kitchen with a stocked fridge, and you get to skip security - it's called my house!! ;)

When you need to fly anyway, it's much more comfortable being in first class. But if I have a choice between relaxing in the suite I described above, or on a first class seat to Hong Kong, I can't really see why the airplane is more relaxing/luxurious/roomy etc....
Maybe a T.V.?

FOR ANYONE WHO BOUGHT AND WANTS TO SELL THEIR TICKETS -

I am willing to buy tickets if you're not using them. I am flexible on dates if it's within the next couple of months.
Willing to pay double for them. I am ideally looking for 2 tickets.

Thanks!!

Dan,
How about a text service every time a deal likes this (or the las vegas.. big CC signups) comes out? i would gladly pay at least $100 for it.
