C"V, had I known I wouldn't even have suggested it.

Travelocity seems to be the cheapest booking agent for these trips.

Chaikel · « **Reply #43 on:** July 14, 2010, 01:00:23 PM »

Expedia also had the same price. On Aegean you can only book in euro, and according to google it comes out to $649.

Good thing you're going to pay for the ticket. If you would have booked it with miles Dan probably would have cried seeing enough miles to get halfway RTW in F being used on coach seats.

Dan.
I don't wanna bother you on PM again, but you totally rule. I love you!

If you really want to be nice, write a trip report.

Why are you asking us? Call one, find out, and let us know.

Quick update. I spoke to a travel agent, and she told me she see the flight with those codes, but she's getting a dif price.

Oh well.
Just go with Czech/Swiss/Brussels/Aegean in August then. At under $600 that's pretty good.

Ya. and it works out better with my wife's school. Any advantages of using Travelocity over Expedia.

PS. She's holding a direct for me for $600 26-29. It's on Corsair. They don't even seem to have a website, I think It's a charter

Never heard of Corsair. I'm sure you won't get miles for that.
No difference between the booking sites really. Orbitz does give you price protection and a 24 hour refund policy but they sometimes charge more for international trips.
Use there links and I'll make a buck or 2...
Orbitz
Travelocity
Expedia

Just got off the phone with Aegean. The cheapest they could give me that ITA flight was 780 EUR, and I think it was before tax.

If I want to credit miles to Aegean to get status, which airline should I use. I don't know how to read their chart for aegean flights

Dan · « **Reply #57 on:** July 14, 2010, 04:15:54 PM »

For the 5th-11th the outbound flight on Brussels is in L, so if you credit to Aegean you'll only get 30% miles of the TLV-BRU and 125 miles for BRU-CDG.
The return flight on Swiss is in Q, so so if you credit to Aegean you'll get 100% miles for the whole trip.

Dan · « **Reply #58 on:** July 14, 2010, 04:21:50 PM »

If you credit the Brussels flight to AC, CO, UA, or US you'll get 50% miles.

You get 1000 miles for signing up, credit your miles to Aegean and you'll get *S
