Lol. I guess I need to be read in context.

AKL for 2 weeks means NZ. ZRH for 2 days though doesnt cover the Alps :)

The only reason I was tempted to go was to fly LX F, but I rescheduled that for a different time..

Roger that, will report back planing to do the golden circle, hike on a glacier (did that in NZ on Franz Joseph in the S. Island) ride an Icelandic horse and finish it off @ the blue lagoon on the day on departure as the flights to USA and Canada depart at 5pm.

Just wondering if I should accrue Finnair miles when flying Icelandair and some how use the reward on oneworld??!

I have some Hyatt nights expiring -

Looking to use them somewhere either in the Caribbean or Central America.

       I don't need the Hyatt to be the nicest, but I'd like to head somewhere with great views and stick to the safer places as well.

Any recommendations?
