That's an option, but I think will be too hot/wet in August. Anywhere with better weather then?
Bring a t-shirt and some deodorant. CNX is a great place.

Not sure which thread this belongs in but here it goes....

So I was fortunate to snag a pair of AA award tickets on EY F in August from AUH-JFK (currently on hold). My original plan was to take my wife to SIN and MLE for a week or so and take the EY flight back. August in MLE is monsoon season and we decided that we are not willing to risk poor weather on a trip like this. So now I am back to the drawing board to find a way to utilize the EY tickets because we (I) really want to see what all the EY F talk is all about. Fallback can always be a trip to Israel but would like to travel somewhere different. Can my fellow DDFers help me out and suggest trip ideas that may help me leverage the EY tickets I currently have on-hold?

Thanks so much in advance!!!

What routing would you take to take advantage of a good F product and position ourselves for the return flight back on EY?

Get some CX F in before the deval.  I say you should do USM or HKT then hop on EY or QR to get back to AUH.
